Reverend Canon Becky Reeve

I graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in Mathematical Sciences and subsequently trained to be a teacher of mathematics. I enjoyed many years of teaching in secondary schools across Birmingham, including Small Heath School and King Edwards High School for Girls. Following the birth of my second child, I took time out of work to be a full time mum to Kate and Harry. Those years were some of the most beautiful and formational of my life. 

During this time, I began to volunteer more at my local church, Holy Trinity Sutton Coldfield. It was here where my call to priestly ministry began to crystallise. 

I trained for ordination at The Queens Foundation, Birmingham and was ordained in Birmingham Cathedral in 2014. I served my curacy in Coleshill and Maxstoke and my first incumbency in the parishes of The Whitacres, Lea Marston and Shustoke. I became the Vicar of St Peter’s, Maney in March 2020 and then, in September 2023, I was licensed as the Priest in Charge of Holy Trinity, Sutton Coldfield, alongside my role in Maney. 

As part of the Anglican Church, one of our missional aims is to “transform unjust structures of society” and to “pursue peace and reconciliation.” This is an area of my faith which I am passionate about; I am particularly committed to building community and enabling all to have a voice. I therefore feel very privileged to have been appointed as Chaplain to the High Sheriff as he seeks to understand more about our judicial system. 

It will be a privilege to journey alongside Mark during his time in the role. I am also looking forward to meeting many people who Mark will be supporting.

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, pilates and reading. I also have more pets than the average vicar!
