Our leaders
Derek and Joan Reynolds
Derek is the senior elder of Grace Church. His passion is to see
the Church being what God has intended Church to be, and to lead Christians into
a confidence in the grace of God. He has led Grace Church since its beginning. He
is alsoa regular visitor to churches in eastern Europe, with the same foundational
messages of Church and Grace. Joan has recently given up working as a special
needs co-ordinator in a local school. She is involved alongside Derek in the work of
pastoral care in the Church and is a key leader of our Children's work.
