Bodmin Community Church

Richard Powell
Associate Pastor

I've been happily married to Alison since 1998 and have four lively and enthusiastic children! I love any activity that involves getting out in the fresh air, especially with my family. I once appeared in a documentary on German television!

Alison Powell
Pastor's Wife

Before having children, I was an Art Teacher at Secondary School in Hampshire but am now fully occupied and very happy in my role as Wife, Mum and Pastor's Wife! When I was 11, I was on T.V singing in The Song For Christmas on Pebble Mill at One. Gary Barlow (from Take That) was also competing and I think he even won the senior section! I got to meet Aled Jones and Susan Tully (Michelle from Eastenders for those of you that can remember that far back!).

Andy Miniss
Service Audio Ministry

I married Michelle in 1997 and I thank God everyday for her and our two children, Connor and Hollie. After many years in banking and finance I am now a self-employed plumber... and I love it! When I was aged 21 I was a kart racing champion.

Michelle Minniss
Children's and Puppet Ministry

I married my wonderful husband, Andy, in 1997 and we have two gorgeous and delightful children. My passion is writing children's fiction and my lifelong ambition is to become a published author. At the age of 3, while on a trip to the Falkland Islands, I fell down a penguin burrow!

Ian Rescorle
Elder - Grace Family of Churches and
Treasurer of BCC

I am about to enter my sixtieth year and am a true Cornishman - with 'seven generations under the soil'.  I am married to Ann whom I love dearly and she has been my best friend for the past thirty eight years. We have been blessed with two wonderful sons, both married, and they have given us five super grandchildren. I enjoy my food and watching all sport, hence my round cuddly figure.
 

Raymond Quinn
Music Ministry

Hi, I'm Raymond and I'm an Irishman living and working on our Cornish dairy / beef / arable farm. Farming is my life and I love it. I even love just talking about farming (go on, ask me a question about my farm...)!

Emerald Quinn
Puppet and Childrens Ministry

I've been married to Raymond for over 21 years. During that time we've been blessed with three boys (yes - blessed!). One of my favourite things is walking around the beautiful coastline near where I live but I'm not from around here. With a name like mine, you get just one guess as to where I'm from...

Jeremy Ley
Communications,
Website

I waited a long time before I married my wife Bev but she was really worth waiting for. We do seem have very opposite interests, however. For instance, she enjoys surfing internet websites whereas I enjoy creating them. She enjoys baking cakes and sweet things whereas I simply enjoy eating them. And she is nice and slim, whereas...
