Background

[edit]

Layzell grew up in St Andrew's Chorleywood where Mike Pilavachi was his youth leader. After a psychology degree at Birmingham University, he moved to Soul Survivor Watford, where he latterly worked as a worship pastor. He moved to St Aldate's Church in Oxford, after six years at Soul Survivor, to take up the position of worship director.[2]

He then did a two-year Diploma in Ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, an evangelical Anglican theological college, between 2008 and 2010. He was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon by the Bishop of London at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in September 2010,[2] and as a priest in 2011.[3] From 2010 to 2020, he ministered at HTB, first as a curate and then as an associate vicar. In 2020, he was appointed vicar of St Mark's, Battersea Rise in the Diocese of Southwark.[3]
