Minister’s Page

Rev. Jay Phelps, retired from  Flore and Weedon at the end of  2025  having faithfully served both Chapels since 2009. We wish him every Blessing in his retirement.

 

This is his story:

Brought up in the faith, I admit cheerfully to have wandered away from it in my late teens and twenties, A variety of experiences brought me strongly back to faith at the age of 30

I trained at Nottingham University, and later at Westminster College, Cambridge. I am well known locally for my interest in riding Motorcycles, and that is my usual form of transport. A Teddy Boy (if you are under 50 you might have to look it up!) and Rocker since my teens, I am still able to communicate with all manner of people, and generally have something in common with everyone I speak to.

At this stage of history I am passionate about the new directions the Church is taking and look forward to seeing a community of people that care for each other, and care for others (including the difficult ones!) with Jesus at the centre of our lives and attitudes.

If Jesus can change me so completely, he can change you! The change is not about giving things up, but adding to life so enormously!
