OUR TEAM
There are many people actively involved in the life, ministry, witness and service of Gedling Road Methodist Church. They include:
Rev Richard Byass
Circuit Co-Superintendent Minister.
Currently ministering to Gedling Road, Arnold, Phoenix Farm, and St. John’s Methodist Churches, Burton Joyce Community Church, and The Church on Rise Park.
Richard was born in West Africa and spent much of his early life there. After secondary school back in the UK he thought he was going to go into architectural design, but God had other plans and as a result of responding to a distinct call on his life, he ended up first at Cliff College and then in training at Manchester before entering circuit ministry in 2004 in Cheshire.
Richard is married to Becca and they have two daughters, Elizabeth and Felicity.
Now in his third appointment (previously in North Herts.) Richard is still keen to bring an emphasis of pastoral care and welcome as well as seeking to enable people to grow together as a church.
He is studying for an MTh. at the University of Aberdeen and hopes that that ongoing learning will encourage and develop the communities he is part of in the Circuit in mission, faith and fellowship.
