Rev Joanna Leidenhag is the curate here in Farsley, working as a self-supporting minister alongside her full time job as a university academic.
Joanna works in the Parish part time, supporting our vicar Nathanael both on a weekend and for some time during week.
This is her first role as a minister following her ordination at Bradford Cathedral and she is excited to work here in Farsley and Rodley and explore what plans God has for us.
Joanna works as an academic theologian and is preparing to take up a new role which will involve her commuting to the University of Cambridge.
