kim-swithinbank

Kim has been Vicar at St James since February 2008. Before that he and his wife Penelope spent five and a half years living in the US. For three years they were both on staff at the Falls Church, in Northern Virginia, part of Metropolitan Washington DC. Latterly they lived in South Carolina while Kim travelled extensively working for Alpha USA.

Early ministry in England included 12 years as Rector at St Georges Stamford, time as Director of Evangelism at All Souls Langham Place, a brief Chaplaincy at Monkton Combe School and a first Curacy in Norwich. His first book "The Natural Touch", on personal evangelism was published in 1988. A new book on "Integrating Alpha into the Church" is due to be published in 2009.

Outside of church life Kim and Penelope enjoy their transatlantic family, three married children, two living in London with their spouses and one in Virginia. They are all producing grandchildren as if they are going out of fashion. As church and family allow, Kim spends most of the rest of the time on the golf course, watching sport or going to the theatre or cinema. As a Spurs fan since 1961 (year of the double), he finally gets to go and see some games!
