Our Ministers

Russell Herbert is the Superintendent Minister for the Gordano Valley Circuit. He has specific responsibility in Clevedon for Kenn Road Methodist Church and is on the team at Christchurch Methodist-Anglican Partnership. He is married to Tamara and they have three children.
Russell felt a strong call to ministry when he was just 17, following life-changing experiences of the Holy Spirit. He studied theology before serving as a youth worker in Essex and then a lay pastoral worker in Newton Abbot. Before coming to Clevedon in 2007 he served eight years as a minister in the Ringsash Circuit in mid-Devon.
Russell has a passion for renewal and evangelism among all ages. He says: “Every Christian should have a ‘whole-life faith’, in which everything is based on a personal relationship with God.”

Nick Moxon is the minister for Portishead (High Street), Redcliffe Bay and Pill churches. He has been a Methodist minister for 20 years and his previous ap-pointment was as Evangelism Enabler for the Lancashire district for 9 years.

When he has time, Nick likes to keep fit. He has taken part in a number of triathlons from short races to one that took him six and a half hours! “I love being out on my bike, swimming up and down the pool or running around the marina here in Portishead. I do most of my sermon preparation when doing exercise.”

Nick has a passion to see people discover who God has created them to be and to live out their faith in their daily lives. “Sometimes that takes folk away from doing ‘church jobs’ but it’s more important that followers of Jesus live out their faith wherever they are and whoever they are with.” Nick feels that his role is to equip his congregation to be ‘whole-life disciples’.
