Our leadership team of elders and wives (see below), together with a team of trustees, oversee the activities, vision, and pastoral care of the church community. They seek to share the job of leadership with as many others as possible particularly those involved in leading small groups, children’s ministry, and church and community activities.
Phil and Julie Clayfield
Phil and Julie returned “home” to Gloucestershire in 1995 having spent time in Milton Keynes. They currently enjoy a quieter home life with their three grown up children having moved out, but are now enjoying being grandparents to 2 wonderful grandchildren! Phil chairs the leadership team and Julie seeks to keep the admin of GCC tidy. They are passionate about seeing the church make a positive difference in the community and are involved in other organisations which share this focus.
Chris and Hannah Mooney
Chris and Hannah became part of the GCC family in 2015. Since then, they have been involved in teaching, worship, children’s ministry and then the leadership team in 2017. A lot of their time is spent entertaining their young daughter, but when they have a spare moment, they love a good coffee, a binge-worthy box-set and spending time with friends. In the past, Chris and Hannah have been involved in missional communities, house churches and international prayer movements. They are passionate about seeing God’s kingdom come in everyday life through prayer, worship, creativity and building community.
Jon and Catherine Smith
Jon and Catherine have been part of GCC since 2005 and joined the leadership team in 2012. They have three energetic young children that keep them involved in the things they love; music, sport and climbing trees. Jon and Catherine lead the team that runs the Children’s Ministry and are passionate about seeing children grow into all that God has for them. Between them they are also involved in PA, teaching and being creative!
Chris and Dorothy Gladwell
Chris and Dorothy have been part of the leadership team since the church began. They live in Longlevens and enjoy walking, cycling and holidaying in their caravan. Chris and Dorothy have six children and nine grandchildren (currently)! They both have a passion to share the Good News of Jesus with people in all walks of life and of all ethnic backgrounds.
