Meet the Ministers

Rev.d Paul Smith

Rev'd Paul Smith


Although Paul was born in Newcastle on Tyne (1959) and baptised in a Methodist church, he grew up in South India, where his parents served as Methodist Missionaries in the Church of South India.

He was confirmed ecumenically (Anglican, Methodist, URC) and then returned to UK to complete his schooling..

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.
