James Gould joined us on 1st July 2024, to serve as Curate in the Parishes of Bramley, St Francis and Thrybergh, St Leonard – join us in welcoming him and his family!
A bit about James:
After spending most of my childhood in Rugby, in Coventry Diocese, I moved to Sheffield for University. During those three years in Sheffield, I completed a degree in Biblical Studies, met the woman who would become my wife, and found the city had become home. To say I loved my time at University would be an understatement, it was an incredible time of learning and growing.
Following my degree my wife and I lived in Leicester for 11 years, where I trained and worked as a primary school teacher, before the opportunity to return to Sheffield arose. During ordination training, I have been on placement at St John’s Owlerton, and completed an MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission with St Hild College.
Our family have lived in Stocksbridge for four years and are excited to see what God has in store for us as we move to Rotherham. Gail and I have 2 children, Samuel aged 3 and Jessica aged 7. I love sports, reading, questions, and the outdoors.
