She is currently directing the Imagine Project at LICC, having completed a theology degree at London Bible College (now the London School of Theology). The Project provides a context for Tracy to pursue her passion for envisioning, equipping and supporting Christians for whole-life discipleship and mission wherever they are.

Jason Gardner

Jason Gardner, our youth project researcher, joined the LICC team in 2000. He is currently seeking to tie in trends in secular youth culture with how the Church approaches the issue of reaching out to today's generation. Prior to his position at LICC, Jason completed degrees in English and Theology and has worked alongside young people in and outside the church.

He has written a number of books including Thank God it's Monday and Imagine: How we can reach the UK, and he speaks extensively at conferences both in the UK and internationally.

Nigel Hopper

Nigel Hopper performs the twin role of Lecturer in Contemporary Culture and Communications Manager at LICC. It’s a post that uniquely ‘makes sense’ of his previous experience and employment. Nigel began his working life as a Management Trainee at WH Smith. He then went to study theology at London Bible College (now London School of Theology), where he completed both the BA and the MTh – the latter an original piece of research into the possible religious significance of rock and pop music fandom. He then spent five years as minister of a small Baptist church in Ipswich before taking up the position of Managing Editor within the Publishing Department at Scripture Union. During his five years with SU, Nigel wrote extensively for their all-age worship resources and Bible reading guides, and was responsible for the successful relaunch of their Connect Bible Studies range, which includes Brian Draper’s Thinking biblically about the iPod title.   

Margaret Killingray

Margaret Killingray has been a part time lecturer and tutor at LICC since the late 1980s. She has degrees in Sociology and Theology and specialises in adult learning, and also the changing pattern of relationships in the modern world. She has written a book called Choices which explores the influences that shape our thinking as Christians and the difficulty of making moral decisions in the real world. She is also a writer for BRF's Day by Day with God Bible reading notes.

Neil Hudson

Neil began working with LICC as the Church-Life Consultant on the Imagine project in September 2006.  For the past ten years he worked at Regents Theological College, serving there latterly as its Vice Principal.  His main areas of teaching concerned the missiological relationship between the Church and wider society.  He co-leads a church in Salford.
