Rob and Rachel McLellan live in the sunny (no hang on – rainy!) Lake District.  They have been married for 29 years and have three grown up children.

Rob came to faith aged 16 and has been finding ways of sharing the Jesus journey with others ever since.  After many years working in a design studio Rob became a youth pastor and is now (much to his surprise) an Anglican priest at St Thomas’ Church in Kendal.  He loves connecting with new people and getting to know anyone and everyone!  He is also an associate of Naked Truth and teaches in schools/colleges about the damaging effects of porn.  Rob is an avid songwriter, occasional runner and cyclist and has a love/hate relationship with DIY.

Rachel is caring and creative – and restless without a project on the go!  She is a professional gardener and also studying nutritional therapy which is indicative of her love of God’s creation, a passion for holistic health and a desire to help others harness the power of food as nature’s medicine.   Over the years Rach has invested herself in the life of the church through toddler, youth and home groups as well as encouraging eco initiatives.
