Our Minister, the Revd Tongayi Matamba, is always keen to hear about the communities in the area and the different activities at Bognor Regis Methodist Church and which church members are supporting locally. He arrived to the church in September 2023, and was formally welcomed into the circuit at a service at Westergate Methodist Church. He is keen to learn and empower people at different stages of their journey and life. You can meet him as he preaches and leads worship at Bognor Regis and other churches in the circuit, with others supports the efforts of Churches Together locally, and during his visits to the weekly community outreach event at Well-Come Point on Friday mornings in the church hall.

Good luck to our previous minister in Surrey
The Revd Dan Balsdon started his new appointment in September 2023, with his wife and their two children. He served as minister for the community at Bognor Regis Methodist Church, and sister Methodist Churches at Felpham and Westergate.
His ministry in West Sussex began in September 2018. At the time, Dan wrote: “it’s been exciting to explore the beautiful area of Bognor Regis, and exciting to work with the people at Bognor Regis Methodist Church and the local community. I’m excited to work with some wonderful people, deeply committed to loving and serving each other and the local community.”
He added: “Bognor Regis Methodist Church has much to offer. As well as regular Sunday Worship, you might also like to test your brain cells in our monthly quiz night, come along to our community lunches, or to our weekly drop-in, ‘Well-come Point’. We aim to offer all a warm welcome at Bognor Regis Methodist Church, because we firmly believe that just as God’s love extends to everyone, we also should live that out in the welcome we offer others.”
Dan’s message to those who had questions are echoed by the church community, and everyone is welcome to come along to services and the church’s events. Dan said: “If you ever have questions about Church, Christianity, faith, would like to meet with me or one of the Churches ministry team, or are interested in coming along to something but a bit nervous about coming for the first time, please feel free to get in touch.”
Dan continues to be involved in the South East Methodist District, which Bognor Regis Methodist Church belongs.
