Meet Rev Dan Balsdon

​Hello! My name’s Dan and I’ve recently joined the community at Felpham Methodist Church as minister here (as well as being minister at Bognor Regis and Westergate Methodist Churches too). I’ve moved here with my wife, Louise, and 2 children and we are all excited to be living near the sea. We're also excited to be meeting and getting to know the people at Felpham Methodist Church and the Felpham community.
 
I’m what the Methodist Church calls a ‘probationer’ which means I’m still learning and training! I’ve moved here straight from Birmingham, having spent 2 years studying at The Queens Foundation, in readiness for my first appointment. Over the next 2 years I will be continuing studying alongside my work in the churches here, and God willing will be ordained in the summer of 2020.
 
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to getting to know the community of Felpham, exploring the future together and hearing more about what goes on in the church and community here, while hopefully getting involved too!
 
Felpham Methodist Church has much to offer, from groups and events for young people, to the ‘coffee stop’ community drop in (with homemade cakes!). Please do take a look around our website which we continue to update and develop to share all that is happening in the life of this community. You will always find a warm and loving welcome at Felpham Methodist Church, because we firmly believe that just as God’s love extends to everyone, we should live that out in the welcome we give to those we meet.
 
If you ever have questions about Church, Christianity, faith, would like to meet with me or one of the Churches ministry team, or are interested in coming along to something but a bit nervous about coming for the first time, please feel free to get in touch with me for a chat. I’d love to hear from you.
In Christ,
Rev Dan
