The team

Leadership Team

Christ Church Trumpington is led by a team of elders, supported by deacons and staff.

Graham Higson

Pastor

Graham joined CCT as pastor in September 2025, after serving for several years in churches in central Cambridge and Cheongju, South Korea. His background before this was in teaching English as a second language (also in Korea). He is married to Jihye and they have a daughter.

David Rowland

Elder

David is married to Ruth. They have three married daughters and six grandchildren. David is Professor of Music at the Open University and Director of Music at Christ’s College, Cambridge. He performs on the harpsichord and organ and conducts choirs.

Stuart Rimmer

Elder

I came to faith in my teenage years having wrestled with questions around how a God of love could seemingly allow evil in the world. I grew in faith during university where I also enjoyed serving in practical ways across church life.

My wife Sarah and I were pleased to be part of the initial group starting CCT and have been thrilled to see it grow over the years.
I am part of the music team and enjoy helping out in other practical ways where I can.

Deacons

Tim Fox

Legal Support and stewarding

I put my trust in Christ at the end of my time at university, so I have a good perspective on the difference it makes to try to lead a life with God at its centre.

I have been a deacon since 2005 and am still running with perseverance the race marked out for me, enjoying making a difference for Christ at CCT, together with my wife and three children. You might also occasionally find me on a golf course…

Liz Scott

Member Care

I made my own personal decision to follow Christ in my teenage years. Since then, I have spent my whole ‘working’ life in different parts of nursing. I’ve really loved being part of CCT and it feels an enormous privilege to serve here now as a deacon.

Staff

Judy Alfred

Church Administrator

I have been part of CCT since moving to the United Kingdom. In September 2023, I joined as a part-time Church Administrator, a role I truly enjoy and feel blessed to serve in. Through this journey, I have found great companionship with Christ, who continues to strengthen and comfort me in this new chapter of life.

Grace Kendall

Ministry Trainee

Grace has been part of Christ Church Trumpington since September 2021. Grace worked as a children’s nurse at Addenbrookes hospital, before transitioning into nursing in the community with the health visiting team in January 2024.

Grace joined as a part-time ministry trainee for Christ Church Trumpington in September 2024, alongside continuing her nursing role with the health visiting team part-time. In her free time Grace enjoys running, going for walks, baking and reading.
