Ministry Leaders

Your Ministry Leader is there for you throughout your summer holiday with Richmond. Start your day with a short reflection, chat and pray during the day and enjoy times of worship and teaching in the evenings. Everything is optional and we love how much of the “ministry” on a Richmond holiday happens around the pool or on a walk along the coast! If you’d like to learn more about the Ministry Leaders on your next holiday, take a look below.
