Statement from the leaders of Redeemer Church Sharrow Vale,
formerly The Crowded House

On Thursday 29th October the leaders of Redeemer Church Sharrow Vale became aware of the charges against Stephen and Janet Timmis. The charges relate to offences alleged to have been committed in 2008 while Mr Timmis was a leader at the church then known as The Crowded House.

We are shocked and saddened by this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

We are cooperating fully with South Yorkshire Police and urge anyone with information which could be relevant to their investigation to contact them either by phoning 101, or through their online reporting system. Please quote investigation number 14/229723/24 when you get in touch.

In 2020, the Elders of our church (then known as The Crowded House) commissioned Thirtyone:eight to undertake an independent Learning Review concerning the leadership of The Crowded House. This was published on 29th October 2020, and was accepted by the Elders and Trustees.

The Elders and Trustees of Redeemer Church Sharrow Vale continue to endorse the findings of the Learning Review and implement all of its recommendations.
