The Minister
"I was born in Splott, but I'm destined for eternity"
Revd. Peter Cousins is the minister at Penrallt since 1998. Previously he spent twenty years in Brazil as a church planter and theological educator. He is married to Susan and they have two grown-up children.
If you wish to contact him, please send an email to minister@penrallt.org.
The Pastoral Assistant
Revd. Geoffrey Birch recently retired to North Wales from his job as a Regional Minister in the West of England Baptist Association. A long-time friend of Penrallt, Geoff is now bringing his considerable pastoral experience to support Peter in the pastoral and preaching responsibilities.
The Administrator
Magnus Forrester-Barker came to Bangor in 1999 to do a PhD in mathematics, fell in love with the area and has remained here ever since. He has been working part-time as Penrallt's administrator (and website maintainer) since the creation of the post in September 2005, and also has another part-time admin job and plays several instruments in two local bands (as well as the Penrallt music group).
The Gap Year Youth Worker
In recent years, Penrallt's youth work has grown to the point that we now take on a Gap Year worker to help with youth activities (although they also get involved with other aspects of church life). This is a one-year voluntary position, supported by Careforce.
Our Gap Year worker in 2008-09 is Tim Phipps, a recent Bangor University graduate, originally from Southampton.
