Engin Yildirim

Engin is a Team Vicar in the Church of Englands Wood Green parish, a role he has held since moving to London in 2017. He uniquely combines his ministry with a professional background as an accountant and owner of an accounting firm. He earned his Masters in theology from Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto.

Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, he is passionate about helping people discover their purpose and enjoys nature, walking, cycling, and cooking for friends. He started a Turkish-speaking congregation in London to meet the spiritual needs of the local community. Engin is married, with one adult son, and is a grandfather.

For most of his life, Engin was a bi-vocational pastor, simultaneously working as an accountant while planting and leading churches in Turkey.
