Rev Des Deehan
Fen Deehan - Church Elder

St. Paul describes 'love' as the greatest of all the virtues and I would agree! Because to see the love of God lived out in our communities is what really excites me.
Love is expressed best in relationships, first between us & God and secondly between us and each other and this is why families are so important, especially the family that I call 'Church'!
Psalm 68:6 says that; ' God sets the lonely & broken in families ' and this is what I desire to see a Church that changes communities for good through love!
That is the reason why I have been a local Church pastor for many years, was a Prison Chaplain for more than 10 years and also an Army Cadet Force Chaplain. Because I believe in seeing people 'set free' and 'made whole' through the love of Jesus Christ lived out and at work in our community. My journey has been made possible with the help & love of my amazing wife Fenella, our 5 wonderful children & beautiful grandchildren, and by 'living life' together with some great friends. Why not come and live life to the full with us & see where your journey will take you?
