Our next Archdeacon of Bournemouth, Revd Dr Gemma Foster, is currently Rector of Cove Parish in Farnborough in the Diocese of Guildford, Area Dean of Aldershot and she also serves on General Synod.
She is passionate about mission and discipleship, and this passion shaped her PhD research where she explored how the Church can effectively disciple young adults in today’s world. Revd Gemma said, "My hopes and prayers for the role is that I quickly get to know the clergy and parishes of the archdeaconry. I’m very much looking forward to supporting parishes as they Walk the Wessex way of loving, serving, learning and growing and what that means within the context of each parish."
