Our Church in Grenoble is led by Stephen Coffin, our Chaplain or Pastor. He is assisted by retired clergyman Alan Golton. All Church members are involved in electing our two Churchwardens, Currently Elizabeth Cherhal & David Bailey, they are our chief representatives in advising Stephen. Decisions are made by our elected Church Council, which adds nine others to these four.

Contacts Whom to contact for different aspects of Church life.

The Church Council has created a number of committees which oversee different aspects of Church life.

The Evangelism Committee, chaired by Alan Golton leads us in outreach to those who are not yet members of our Church.
The Worship Committee, co-ordinates our music, which is enriched by using the different talents of members, with band, choir & those who play musical instruments.
The Events Committee, under John Stinton, plans social & fund-raising activities, whose chief aim is to bring people together in enjoyable ways.
The Finance Committee, under our Treasurer Richard Sheppard, oversees income and expenditure, making recommendations to the Council.
The Catering Committee, led by Val Golton, plans our monthly Church meals and the catering for various other events.

Our weekly Sunday Services also offer special activities for the children, in groups appropriate to their ages. Alison Coulavin, as our Child Protection Officer, is available to advise if anyone is concerned for the welfare of any child, and can advise on appropriate procedures.

Different home groups meet throughout the area we serve. Each follows its own agreed topics and approaches, with our Chaplain available to give advice, and ultimately responsible for them.

Our Church is part of the Church of England's Diocese of Europe. As such the Anglican Bishop of Europe has oversight of our Church, and our Chaplain &/or Churchwardens can seek his advice at any time.
We are also supported by ICS (the Intercontinental Church Society), whose Chief Executive Officer visits us regularly. He offers advice and ICS helps to guard our Church's evangelical identity.

Our Church is an official Association, under French law, with our Chaplain & Churchwardens as the responsible officials.
