Ordination Profile

Revd Sarah Llewellyn

Up until last year I had lived all my life in the Fishguard area. Growing up in Llanychaer with my grandmother and later moving to Scleddau. I trained in nursing care and worked in local residential and nursing homes before giving up work to become my grandmother’s full-time carer. After her death, I retrained as a warper and weaver at Melin Tregwynt, a local woolen mill.

I grew up surrounded by people of faith and regularly attended church but it wasn’t until my mid-teens that I developed my own personal relationship with Christ which has grown over the years.

In 2016 I was approached by a friend who shared how strongly she felt I was being called to ordained ministry. That began my discernment journey. And, after a few years of prayer, meditation and study, as well as talking with others in the church, I went before the discernment panel and was recommended for stipendiary ministry. I began full-time training at St Padarns Institute in 2020, graduating last year a few months after being ordained Deacon in June.

My first year of curacy has been amazing. Everyone within the Bro Sancler LMA have been so generous and welcoming and I am so blessed to be working with a great ministry team from whom I have already learned so much.
