Meet the Ministers

Rev.d Chris Collinge

Rev. Chris Collinge


Chris was born in Derbyshire some 60 years ago at home, in the middle of the 1947 snow storm and in the middle of a field! Her dad had to dig a path for the midwife to get through. All went well and to prove it she still has the bill for her birth that her mother was given COD (cash on delivery).

Rev.d Mindy Bell

Rev. Mindy Bell

I was ordained on the 6th of July 2008 in Driffield. For me it was a very joyous occasion that marked the end of 12 years in various stages of the candidacy process in two different Methodist systems in two different countries. It was important to me to have received the church's recognition of my calling and giftedness for the Ordained Presbyterial Ministry.
