What is a Mission Area?

Rev Andrea Jones is our Mission Area Leader and has responsibility for our spiritual growth and mission.  Andrea is based in Hawarden where she is the Rector of St Deiniol's Church.

We are blessed to have a number of members of our clergy team, as well as those in curacy roles.

Jan McTear is our Operations Manager.  Rob Dawson is our Lay Chair and Deputy Mission Area Leader.  Lacey Jones is our Safeguarding Officer.  Val Aldcroft is our Mission Area Treasurer. And Alan Rainsforth and Gareth Jones are our Mission Area Wardens.

We are also very fortunate to have an active support network of readers, treasurers, worship leaders, pastoral assistants, and also safeguarding officers and trustees - all of whom are instrumental in the smooth running of our Mission Area.

We work closely as a team to encourage vision and support mission, and to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Our 19 churches  offer worship, warmth and friendship in abundance.  And we make it our mission to focus on mission, as well as spiritual leadership and growth.

  God of mission, 

who alone brings growth to 

your church, 

send your Holy Spirit to give 

vision to our planning, 

wisdom to our actions and 

power to our vision.

Help our church to grow in

numbers, in spiritual

commitment to you, and in

service to our local community,

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
