Our minister Rev Gillian Baalham

Born in Rugby in Warwickshire, I have spent most of my adult life in East Anglia, where our immediate family still live, and where my wife, AJ, and I met. We moved to Bedford in 2013 as I was stationed to North Bedfordshire Methodist Circuit as a probationary minister.

I’ve always been a Methodist, although it was a close call: Mum was Methodist and Dad Church of England – but it was Market Place Methodist Church who offered an umbrella after their first visit for a very rainy walk to the station – and so it stuck!

It took a long time to accept God’s call to ministry, and yet, here I am, looking forward to my second appointment, to the Redhill & East Grinstead Circuit, where we have already been made to feel very welcome.

AJ is grateful for a transfer from Bedford to Crawley B&Q, and we are enjoying finding our way round, wondering at the beauty of the area and the warmth of its people.

I look forward to spending time with you all, sharing life, faith and fellowship, and all the twists and turns of life as we each walk the road ahead of us.

Facilities Manager - Graham Markee-Jones

I have a varied role within Redhill Methodist Church.

I make sure the Church is working! I manage the different trades that are required to keep our church safe, modern and in working order. I am the person who opens the Church every weekday morning and ensures the building is ready to be occupied and I manage the Church diary, ensuring that you get your event organised and confirmed with no unnecessary red tape.

You may even sometimes find me washing up!!
