MINISTER
The Methodist Minister serving us at Acomb Methodist church is the Rev Jill Pullan
Originally from Leeds, I lived in Guiseley for 25 years, after my marriage to Jeremy. I served in the Sheffield Methodist District & Circuit for nine years and was ordained in 2018.
I am delighted, humbled and privileged to have the opportunity to serve in the York Circuit and the Yorkshire North & East District.
I trained at the Queen’s Foundation Ecumenical Theological College in Birmingham, whilst serving as a lay family worker within the Wharfedale and Aireborough Circuit.
I have two grown up sons and two grandsons. I love time with them and my extended family and friends.I am a keen, but relatively new member of Parkrun. I enjoy cycling, walking trails and photography.
I am passionate about life-long discipleship and about helping churches and communities to live, learn and grow together in holistic, integrated ways. My hopes and prayers are that this reflects and rejoices in the good news of Jesus whose life-changing love is for all people.
Jill works with the following churches:

Church Stewards
A team of four Church Stewards and several representatives from different aspects of the church’s life and mission work with the minister in the leadership the church. As well as providing support to the minister the stewards have a particular responsibility for ensuring that worship services of the church take place. Stewards are elected from within the membership of the church and usually serve for up to four years.
Church Council
The Church Council is the decision-making and legally responsible body in the Church. All formal correspondence with the church should be addressed to the secretary of the church council, Lois Broadbent, at the church address.
Pastoral Care
All members and regular worshippers are included in the pastoral care system, which is the formal way in which the people of the church exercise care for each other. We use a combination of methods to ensure pastoral care is available in a way that is appropriate to each person. Some choose to have a pastoral visitor, others receive care through their house group. More hi-tech options are also available. The pastoral care work is coordinated by the minister, lay pastor and the pastoral secretary, Joan North, to support a church community where all are cared for.
