Glenn Shotton was appointed Assistant Minister in July 2005 until he left at the end of 2006 to take up a pastorate in Surrey. Rev. Adam Broughton was called to take up the position of Pastor of Oadby Evangelical Free Church from 1 August 2008. Adam left the church in March 2013 to take up a pastorate in Scotland.
