Rev Will Fletcher MA
Prior to ministry I worked for 4 years as a youth and children’s worker in a Baptist church in north Essex; and then for 5 years co-ordinating a charity that worked with children and young people in West Berkshire who had a physical disability or sensory impairment. Following that role I went to Wesley House, Cambridge to train for the ministry, although my studies also included a year studying at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia in the USA.

I come to Haywards Heath after spending 5 happy years in Sheffield where I was minister of the Beacon Methodist Church and Knowle Top Chapel in the west of the city. However, having been born and growing up in north Hampshire and West Berkshire I’m glad to be moving back down south – especially before the snow comes! During my time in Sheffield I married Helen although we had met a number of years earlier at university.

One of my passions of ministry is walking alongside people in their journeys of life and faith. It is a privilege to join with people through the highs and lows of life. I find those key moments – baptisms, weddings and funerals – along with the ongoing rhythms of worship and celebrating Holy Communion to be so important for our lives. I also enjoy working and learning from people of other traditions and faiths and am committed to building bridges between various branches of the Christian family.

Outside of ministry I play tuba and have been playing for Deepcar Brass Band whilst in Sheffield. I also support Harlequins Rugby club; as well as Leyton Orient and Tottenham Hotspur Football clubs. I’m discovering enjoyment in gardening, although still have little idea as to what I’m doing!
