Meet the Team
Great Ayton Methodist Church relies on a great many people who help in many ways to support the worship and work of the church.
From making coffee, helping tidy the building or helping with activities or events, to taking on a leadership role — help is always welcome. Under the direction of the church council, the minister and leadership team are responsible for day-to-day decisions and leadership.
