Who’s who?

May we introduce to you the leadership team of Riverside Family Church...

Paul & Janice Finn

Paul and Janice came to Southampton in 1975, after graduating from Theological College.They felt clearly called by God to lead the Assemblies of God church here in the city. Under their leadership the church has grown and developed in many ways and now has numerous ministries that impact the lives of countless people in this city and beyond.

 
Paul and Janice are a very pastoral couple who lead Riverside Family Church with passion and integrity. They are spiritual parents to many and believe that the church is a place where the love and power of God is to be tangibly experienced. Paul and Janice also have a deep concern for marriage and are very busy in marriage counselling, marriage enrichment and preparation, and have a growing national profile in ministry to marriage. They are both qualified counsellors (members of ACC) and Paul holds a Masters degree from Southampton University. Janice serves the Fellowship in numerous ways including administration, worship leading, mentoring and counselling.

 Neil & Julia Maddock

Neil is currently the Project Manager of the Kipper Cafe, an outreach from the church into the community, and has recently achieved full ministry status with AOG. Julia currently spends her time looking after their young children as a full time mum! Neil is a regular worship leader and preacher at Riverside and is also a singer/songwriter.
 

James & Louise Barton

James & Louise started life in Southampton as students at the University. They liked it so much that they stayed! Together they head up the youth work at Riverside and are also responsible for some of the community projects that operate from the church such as, Kidz Klub, Tiny Treasures and The Bus.

Outside of the church James is a NHS manager based in Bournemouth whilst Louise is a midwife here in Southampton. Their heart and passion is to connect all that goes on in the church with the community that is around us.
