Our Team
James Packman
Rector 👏
James joined the team in April 2018.
“My family and I are absolutely delighted to be joining the church family at Holy Trinity. God has made it very clear to us that this is where he wants us, and we’re looking forward to finding out how he wants to use us in his service.”
James and his family have moved to Nailsea from Tunbridge Wells where he was Rector of two village churches, for almost 10 years.
It’s important to know, James doesn’t drink tea! But he assures us he’s still a real vicar.
