PASTORS
Rob and Silmara Gale (Pastors)
Rob and Silmara Gale became the Pastors of The Peoples Church in August 2022. Rob is originally from Wales and has been a part of leadership teams of Churches in Wales, Nottingham and Leicester, while Silmara is originally from Brazil. Her parents were AOG Pastors and missionaries, so she has lived between both Brazil and Argentina before moving to Wales in 2000 to study at the Bible College of Wales. They married in 2003 and have two daughters, Carys and Myah.
Rob and Silmara pioneered a church in one of the most deprived estates of Leicester from 2014 to 2020. They saw God do amazing things, from seeing the Church grow to also seeing God’s provision and blessing in the form of a Church building. With that, they are very excited to come and lead the Church in Bestwood into whatever God has next in store.
They firmly believe that God has incredible plans for The Peoples Church, and are looking forward to caring for all who call The Peoples Church their family, and to reach out to the community of Bestwood.
If there is any way that Rob and Silmara can support you, then please use the details on our “Contact Us” page to get in touch.
