Reverend Brenton Prigge

​Hi. I am Brenton Prigge, an English speaking South African, with Afrikaans as a second language, a rough understanding of German, and a smattering of Zulu. I also understand ‘Stralian, having lived and ministered in Australia for eleven years before moving to the UK in February 2020. I am now trying to learn to speak Janner! 

I joined the Plymouth and Devonport Circuit in September of 2020.

My wife, Ann, was born in Minehead, Somerset – hence our move here to be closer to family. Our two adult children both continue to live in Australia. We miss them like crazy!

​I love to work with congregations to connect with the communities around them, and especially to find ways of being inclusive of children of all ages in the life, witness and worship of the church. I love using story, music and creativity to share God’s great love for us in Jesus. 

Nature is a ‘thin place for me’ where I more easily come close to God – walking, bird watching, and scuba diving. I volunteer a day a week at a local Scuba Dive Centre working primarily with home educated children at a local dive centre, which helps me to remain connected to the community outside the church.
