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.

She’s married to Chris and they have two sons 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.
