Emily Twigg photoHi, I’m Emily! I’m a Baptist Minister and the Emerging Generations Team Lead here at UV.  My main focus is overseeing UV’s children, families and youth ministry and the fantastic teams behind them. I’m hugely passionate about intergenerational church as well as shoes, baking, crafting, travelling and above all JESUS! I absolutely hate baked beans and once had to drink a can of coke through a sock which a 13-year-old boy had worn all day – yuck!

I am the new South West Youth Ministries (SWYM) trainee/intern at Upton Vale. My main area at UV will be with the children and youth but I will also be helping with various other things throughout UV.

In my spare time I love to meet up with friends and socialise. I also love the sea and a nice sandy beach, I particularly like to surf!
