LEADERSHIP
Elders
Our church recognises the biblical importance of having more than one church elder (shepherd, pastor or overseer) of God’s people. We currently have three elders (David Moss, Mike Reith and Rob Scothern) who oversee the pastoral care, discipleship (growth) and outreach of Peak Trinity.
Rob Scothern - PASTOR
Rob Scothern is our full-time Pastor and, as an elder, co-leads Peak Trinity. He is married to Claire and is dad to Grace, Harry and Theo.
Rob has been assessed by A29 and is a member of the FIEC Pastor’s Network. Before ministry, Rob served in the army, played a lot of rugby and worked as a school teacher.
Rob is passionate about sport and loves to coach his own youngsters - although looks like it’s going to be the round ball these days…

David Moss - Staff elder
David Moss co-leads Peak Trinity and works part-time for the church. He is married to Heather and is dad to Oliver, Jennifer and Fraser and grandfather to Lily and Julia.
Before joining Peak Trinity, David was a 12 year elder and the Church Manager at Chessington Evangelical Church - an FIEC church in Surrey. David is the founder of Bakewell Walking Football Club.

Mike Reith - Elder
Mike Reith co-leads Peak Trinity. He is married to Debbie and dad to David & Becky and grandad to Elliot, Hannah and Isaac.
Before joining Peak Trinity, Mike was an Anglican vicar, then church planter, over a period of 37 years. He is now retired but has kept his hand in since.
Mike wants to be more passionate about telling people about Jesus, and is an armchair fan of all sport… and of Boris (their Lab).
