Who's Who


Jacob Mercer Minister

"My role is to help people find Jesus and discover the new life he offers. That involves connecting with the local community, teaching the Bible, and caring for people who are ill or have had a bereavement. It also means making sure children and young people have loads of fun at St Brigid's and get the opportunity to explore faith for themselves. 

If you're looking for God, looking for hope, or need to hear some good news, I'd love to meet you.

If you'd like to speak to me, just call. You can find my contact details here."


Jacob studied theology at Oxford University (Wycliffe Hall) and was ordained in the Church of England in 2018. He has previously worked at churches in Cambridge, Wimbledon and Bermondsey and has completed the Cornhill Training Course in London. He came to St Brigid's in June 2022. Jacob is married to Rebecca and they have four young children.
