MEET THE TEAM
Church at South Hampstead is led by a small team of elders and leaders who love Jesus, love this community, and are passionate about helping people grow in faith. We’re here to serve and walk alongside you - whether you're exploring Christianity or looking for a church to call home.
Our Elders
Anthony Chan
Elder / Teacher-Pastor
Originally from the USA, Anthony has lived in London for over a decade and has worn various hats during that time. Having trained as a solicitor, Anthony moved from Law into full time ministry work in 2022, and hasn’t looked back since.
He is employed full-time at Church at South Hampstead, is a full-time dad, and is studying Christian Apologetics at Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology.
“Ask Anthony about why he still hasn’t been able to lose his accent.”
Our Leaders
Mitchell Christie
Trustee / Hosting & Prayer
Mitchell (Mitch) was born and raised in the UK and has lived in London for 7 years. In the service he is usually found hosting and is willing to take any prayer requests you may have. He is also one of our regular speakers.
“Ask Mitch about cricket - why is it so boring?”
Chun-Wei Tsai
Trustee / Treasurer
Originally from Taiwan, Chun-Wei grew up in Switzerland and has been in London for a decade now. After completing his studies, Chun-Wei spent some time practicing as a nurse before going back to school to complete his Master’s at Imperial College, following which he went to work for Big Pharma.
He enjoys music, leg days at the gym, scuba-diving, and serving at church wherever he can.
“Ask Chun-Wei about his French!”
Andrew Dean
Interim-Trustee / Worship Director
A proud Northener, Andy brings his vibrant spirit to our community. By day, he heads the Drama Department at a London secondary school, sharing his decade-long experience in teaching drama and music.
Andy is driven by his passion for helping people encounter Jesus through worship, both when they are part of the congregation and by supporting them in joining the worship team.
“Ask Andy to say something in Scouse.”
Wendy Addo
Women’s Ministry
Wendy is from North London and works for NHS laboratories as a scientist. She finds great joy in worshiping through music and she plays the piano on the worship team. While she’s always preferred working behind the scenes, she has recently stepped into a leadership role to help support and encourage the women in the church.
Outside of church, Wendy enjoys playing the piano in her spare time and has a love for salsa dancing.
“Ask Wendy to show you some salsa moves - no guarantee she obliges though!”
Hannah Chan
Children’s Ministry
Hannah is from Southampton and has her own physio business that specializes in children with developmental disabilities, a lot of them non-verbal. Proud mother of two, she’s energetic, caring, and excels at sharing the gospel with little ones, and making them disciples of Jesus.
When she catches a break between work and mother duties, she enjoys running, reading, and the occasional TV show.
“Ask Hannah why she has such terrible choice in movies!”
