Our Staff Team
Here at Richhill Presbyterian Church it would be impossible to do what we do without a team who commit themselves to serving in full-time & part time capacities. Scroll below to find out a little more about each member.
Alastair McNeely
Alastair is our Minister/teaching elder here at Richhill Presbyterian. He is married to Pauline. Together they have two children Erin & Harry. Having a heart for ministry Alastair has served here in this congregation for over 25 years. In his spare time, you'll find Alastair out with his family, watching Tottenham Hotspur or down at the Kingspan supporting the Ulster rugby team.
Jeff Gawn
Jeff is our Assistant Minister. He is married to Vicky and they have a son George. Originally from just outside Antrim, Jeff headed West to work for Scripture Union as a School’s Worker in Fermanagh (where he met Vicky). Having moved to Portadown in 2019 they settled quickly into Co. Armagh! Jeff’s love is to open up the Bible with others. When he isn’t at RPC you might find him drumming, farming or enjoying time with family and friends (preferably over food).

Erin Wilson
Erin is our Youth and Children’s Worker. Originally from just outside Cookstown. She loves spending time with people, especially children and young people, engaging in conversations about the Bible. Erin is a big fan of anything aesthetically pleasing, coffee, a Sojourn rocky road and asking slightly rogue questions. Ask her about her dog Ginger.

Lesley-Anne Wilkinson
Lesley-Anne is our Discipleship and Adult Education co-ordinator which means she’s involved in lots of things from writing Growth Group questions and training leaders, to leading Bible studies with women in groups and one-to-one. She’s married to Chris and they have a son and a Border Collie. Having previously been a teacher, Lesley-Anne studied at Cornhill and has completed three years of training in Biblical Counselling through CCEF, so she loves getting to come alongside people in all seasons and trials of life.
When not at the church, you would likely find Lesley-Anne enjoying a Sojourn coffee or hanging out with friends and family in their home.
