Revd. Vicky Martin joined us in September 2020 after spending 5 years as a full-time Chaplain in the local NHS Mental Health Trust (Sussex Partnership). Having come into ministry after finding a sick and beaten homeless man sleeping on some church steps, Vicky is passionate about ensuring nobody is excluded from church life and a full relationship with Jesus. She is keen to ensure that Union Church becomes a community hub for the town as well as a beacon of hope to those who need it. Vicky also endorses ‘Affirm’, a UK network of Baptist Christians working together for LGBT+ inclusion.
