Who We Are
At Great Vic we are so thankful for the way that all members of the church contribute to the life of the church family, using their God-given gifts, and the time, energy and resources he gives them, all for his glory. So much of what goes on just couldn’t happen without the commitment of so many members. Below are just some of those members who also have more formal responsibilities too, so you can get to know them a bit better.
