There are a great many people that work within the churches to make them the active organisations that they are. Below you will find just a few of the key people who play an active role in the church. These people support all that is going on in the churches, and often in the village communities too, and help ensure we have a caring, pleasant and positive environment in which to worship God.
Vicar: Revd Ilse Ferwerda: 01452 780880; apperleypriest@gmail.com
Please note: the vicar's role here is part time and she works elsewhere one day a week.
