The Team
Our Team
Rector: Rev Steve Wilkinson
Steve was formerly in the world of electronics engineering ending up in Project Management for Philips Semiconductors working on the development of silicon chips for the first generations of Digital TV. For all of his adult life he has been involved in church leadership, often involving youth work and has been deeply involved in churches in Dorset and the Netherlands. In 2008 he trained for ministry at Ridley Hall in Cambridge and was ordained at Bristol Cathedral in 2010. His curacy was in the nearby Greater Corsham and Lacock Team, and he started as our Priest-in-Charge in January 2014. With the formal creation of the Woodbridge Group in 2016 he became our Rector, and in 2021 also became the Area Dean for North Wiltshire. He is married to Tash with two adult children and enjoys gardening, reading and watching Formula One races, Star Wars and exploring the big existential questions that Doctor Who poses.
Associate Minister: Rev Mike Graham
Mike has at least two former careers, starting off on the engineering side of coal mining, and later becoming a maths teacher. He ended up in a deputy headship role at Colston’s School, Bristol, from where he retired. He has been a lay preacher for over 40 years, and was ordained in Bristol in 2017. He is married to Alison, and has a growing pool of grandchildren. He can often be found cycling the country lanes.
Curate: Rev Christian Saguyan
Christian was born in the Philippines but has lived in London since he was a teenager. He became an assistant Pentecostal minister for eight years while working in various charity organisations. Afterwards he pursued the study of theology. During his studies, he worked in London as a pastoral assistant at St Martin-in-the-Fields and became a member of Nazareth Community – a new monastic community where he participated in leading contemplative prayers, lectio divina, and outreach to the homeless. After his time at St Martin’s, Christian was recommended to train for priesthood. He and Janina, his wife, moved to Ripon College Cuddesdon (near Oxford) and while there they had their son Cassian. Christian was ordained last July 2023 at Bristol Cathedral.
Outside reading books and going on small walks, Christian enjoy sports like basketball, football, badminton, and table tennis. His favourite is to spend time with family at local cafes, and visit art galleries when away”.
The clergy are supported by Licensed Lay Ministers Debs Evans and Tony Yates and various other people help lead our less formal services.
