Ivan Parker National Leader

Ivan and Rhian have been married for 28 years and have ministered in South Wales for over twenty years. In 2006, along with their three children, they moved to Llanelli to lead Ty Gwyn Community Church, a growing vibrant family church in the town centre.

A third generation ACUK minister of the gospel, Ivan has a deep understanding of the history of the Movement.

Both the training and equipping of leaders and emerging leaders is of great significance for Ivan. In 2017, Ivan and his team created “Equip”, the training arm of ACUK, which Ivan has directed for the last four years.

In May 2020, Ivan became the National Leader of ACUK. His heart is to see the Movement intensify its reach and influence through greater networking, intentional training and multifaceted church planting throughout the UK and the nations.

Ivan continues to lead the local church in Llanelli. Passionate about people, Ivan and Rhian have a heart to see the local church impact the community of Llanelli and beyond through loving and serving.
