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
Superintendent Minister - NNE Circuit
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 designs (pun intended) and as a result of responding to a distinct call on his life, he began preaching at aged 17. He then did his undergraduate degree at Cliff College. This was followed by being in training at Manchester before entering circuit ministry in 2004 in Cheshire. He then moved to North Herts., in 2009. He more recently completed a Masters in Theology at the University of Aberdeen.
Now in his third appointment, Richard brings 20 years of experience in local church ministry and 7 in Superintendency. He is engaged in some committee work for the Methodist Church nationally and remains committed to emphasising hospitality, justice and well-being in church life; as well as seeking to enable people to grow together as faithful disciples, individually and as a community.
Richard has two children and a black Labrador called Ossie!.
