Being a place of welcome for children and families

Connecting with children, families and households continues to be a significant priority for the church. Finding ways to shape mission and ministry really matters so everyone is able to participate and find a place of belonging. Gail has built up a wealth of experience through almost four decades serving in a range of churches and denominations. She is uniquely placed to offer support which will enable your church to thrive and engage authentically with families. Find out more about her specialist provision and get in touch for a conversation about how she can work with you.

Gail is a font of wisdom: a wonderful mix of many years’ experience in church leadership, ministry in children’s, youth and intergenerational settings, academic understanding of the theories and theology behind the work, and a warm relational approach. I would highly endorse Gail as a coach and trainer. Her enthusiasm and wisdom are refreshing and will nurture growth and connection in your church communities.

My experience & focus

Gail has worked extensively throughout her career both as a primary school teacher and layworker in church with children and families. She believes in nurturing mission and ministry where everyone is welcome and finds a place to flourish and grow in faith.

In her current role as Associate Vicar, Gail’s ministry is grounded in the day to day life of two local churches, finding ways to make Jesus known and where discipleship deepens.

Throughout her role with The Methodist Church, Gail sought to equip and support those in lay ministry with children, young people and families, creating resources and training to meet the needs of those involved in these areas of church life.
