Elders
Graham Thomson is our Pastor. He is married to Dawn, and they have one son, Jude. They moved to Cleckheaton in August 2017 to start Spen Valley Church. Before that they lived in Huddersfield, where Graham grew up. Graham is a long suffering Huddersfield Town fan, and loves a beer with mates, a good book, and some really heavy guitars. Contact Graham at graham@spenvalleychurch.org or 07738285491.
Although Kevin moved to Yorkshire in 1985, he is still considered an incomer! He is married to Tracey (a Yorkshire lass), and has two grown-up sons. He has worked in IT for all his life, and been an elder of two other churches before moving to Spen Valley in 2019 to support the church here. He enjoys music and films, occasionally walking a Cumbrian fell, and watching F1. Ale is real, wine is red, and coffee is black and strong. He loves Italian food and a medium curry, and he has even been occasionally known to tinker with computers outside of work. Intermittent tweets @zbnet

He works in IT, helping those with accessibility issues. Dave enjoys a good film and a single malt whisky. You can contact him at dave@spenvalleychurch.org
