Rev'd Dr James Garnett Circuit Superintendent

Rev'd Dr James Garnett Circuit Superintendent

Responsible for the oversight of the Circuit

Having grown up in Hampshire and studied in Exeter and Oxford, I lived in Oxfordshire for most of my adult life with my wife, Alison, and two children. I worked first as a consultant in the pensions industry and then as a secondary-school music teacher, later spending 7 years lecturing in music education at the University of Reading.

I was an organist for many years, becoming a Methodist local preacher in 2015 and then candidating for the presbyteral ministry the following year. After training for the ministry at the Queen's Foundation in Birmingham, my first appointment was to the North of Scotland Mission Circuit in 2019.

I moved to the Conwy & Prestatyn Circuit as superintendent minister in 2024, where I am enjoying the beautiful surroundings and the varied life of the towns and their churches.
