the steering TEAM
Matthew
HEREL
Meet Pastor Matthew – part shepherd, part storyteller, and full-time enthusiast for life. Whether he’s unpacking deep truths, cracking a well-timed joke, or championing community, he leads with heart, wisdom, and a whole lot of faith. A devoted family man, he’s also a fitness fanatic who loves a good run—and an even better pizza, preferably from his own beloved pizza oven. When he’s not preaching, you’ll find him dreaming up big ideas, cheering on Arsenal FC, or perfecting the art of the perfect crust. His mission? To help people encounter God in real, meaningful ways—and have a little fun along the journey!
Isaac
HAMMOND
This is Isaac – the number-crunching ninja who keeps our church finances in divine order! With a sharp eye for budgets and a heart for generosity, he ensures every pound has a purpose. A devoted family man and a proud ambassador for all things Ghana, Isaac brings a wealth of experience from the world of financial services and banking. Beyond spreadsheets, he’s a firm believer that we are conduits for God’s financial blessings—called to steward, serve, and sow into His kingdom. When he’s not balancing budgets, you’ll find him sharing stories, spreading joy, and making sure everyone knows why Ghana is the best place on earth!
Daniel
ANTI
It’s Dan – the maestro behind the melodies and the heartbeat of our worship! With a passion for music and a gift for bringing voices together, he turns every Sabbath into a soul-stirring symphony. Whether strumming his guitar, crafting the perfect setlist, or sneaking in an extra beat on the cajón, he leads with creativity, joy, and a whole lot of rhythm. When he’s not making music, you’ll find him lost in the woods, perfecting his streak on DuoLingo, or obsessing over his Ninja Woodfire—because, let’s be honest, everything tastes better when it’s wood-fired. And, of course, he’s always cheering on Liverpool FC—because some passions are non-negotiable!

With a background in law, she brings sharp insight, excellence, and a commitment to seeing things done right. She thrives on projects that inspire personal growth within the ACTS Church family, always seeking new ways to empower and uplift others. But don’t expect her to sit still—Kim’s love for travel keeps her on the move, always chasing new experiences and fresh perspectives. Whether she’s leading an initiative, rallying the team, or packing her next suitcase, one thing’s for sure—Kim is all about making things happen!

ADRIAN
BLAKE
This is Adrian - creative guru and content king! A man who is constantly using his full gamut of innovative gifts to express our mission and purpose. Adrian believes in always putting your best foot forward, and whether its words, worship or workouts, he’ll be frontline, giving one hundred percent. When he’s not on comms duty, you might spot him singing with the nation’s favourite choir (LCGC anyone?), grabbing a gym session, or spending time with his beloved family. But whatever you find him doing, he’ll be doing it with his whole heart.
