OUR LEADERS

St Thomas Methodist Church is a member of the Garden Route Circuit – a geographical area that extends from Sedgefield to Storms River. The Superintendent Minister of this Circuit is the Reverend Rodney Jamieson of Knysna. The Garden Route Circuit in turn is a member of the Grahamstown District – a region that extends up the coastline from Sedgefield to Peddie (in the Eastern Cape) and includes large areas of the Karroo encompassing towns such as Graaff-Reinet and Middelburg. The District is managed by Bishop Andile Mbete who is based in Port Elizabeth. The Garden Route Circuit has four elected lay people called Circuit Stewards who assist the Superintendent with Circuit management while St. Thomas society in Plettenberg Bay is managed by the resident Minister, who is assisted by two groups of lay people elected by the congregation called Society Stewards and Deacons. The Society Stewards are responsible for the work and running of our church while the Deacons are responsible for the stewardship of our finances.
