Who we are

Most people think of a church as being a building where people go to worship God. In actual fact the word "church" really means the people who worship God. Our church is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds.

Our Rector

Rev Peter Jones was instituted as Rector on Wednesday 23 August 2017. From 2019 until 2024, Rev Jones also served as Warden of Readers and during the past year he was been appointed as Director of Vocations in Connor Diocese. He is also the current Chairperson of SAMS Ireland.

Our Curate

Rev Louise Bowes was ordained on Sunday 22 September 2019 at Lisburn Cathedral. She is also the Chairperson of World Day of Prayer UK.

Our Church Wardens

Our Church Wardens, Alan Bowes and John Nesbitt, play an important role in our Sunday services.

They're the ones who get up early to open the church, prepare it for the services, make sure everyone gets a seat, and they stay behind afterwards to close the building.

Our Diocesan Readers

Tom Irwin was a long-time parishioner at Mossley before becoming a Diocesan Reader.

Another of our parishioners, Valerie Murray, is also a Diocesan Reader and she takes part in our Services as well.
