Emma Cain
Project Leader and Volunteer Coordinator
Hi, my name is Emma Cain and I am the newly appointed Team Leader for the Communities of Hope, here in Hartlepool.
My husband and I came to Hartlepool, following God’s lead, what feels like a whole lifetime ago; though, when I counted, it turned out to be 19 years ago. I suppose we were only young then, and childless, which probably explains it. We loved it here and settled down; our three children were all born in Hartlepool – our youngest one on the very last day the maternity ward was still open in Hartlepool Hospital.
Three years ago, I heard God tell me that the time for patience was over and that it was now time to start doing His work. Since then, life has been one long rollercoaster, which has seen me being recommended for training towards ordination as an incumbent as well as being appointed to this post.
I would like my ministry to be about bringing love and hope to my brothers and sisters and am really excited about the work that lies ahead of us all, as we come together to be the living presence of Christ in Hartlepool, bringing hope and healing to this town and its people: our community.
I can’t wait to get going and hope to meet you soon, if we have not already done so.
