Hello... My name is Gerda and I am an Ordinand (first stage of training for the priesthood) with the Benefice of Newton Abbot.

I have just completed the first year of my Diploma in Theology, Ministry and Mission at St Mellitus College South West, based in Plymouth.

I will be training with Rev’d Steph Jeffs and the Exe Valley Mission Community for the next few weeks in order to experience ministry in a context different from my mine, and learn more about rural ministry specifically.

I can’t wait to start and am looking forward to meeting you all in person!
