Our Minister

The Rev. Rick Hawley is currently serving Wesley as a Supply Minister. Rick retired in 2010 and has worked at the Hamilton Conference Office, post-retirement, as Acting Executive Secretary and Acting Personnel Minister.

Rick served five pastoral charges in Ontario before retirement. He has also served as President of both London and Hamilton Conferences. Rick brings a great deal of energy and a sense of humour to the worship experience and to his leadership at Wesley. Under his leadership, the congregation has held congregational gatherings to discuss our future and what it means to be church in a post-modern, post Christian era. We have committed ourselves to reinventing our congregation as a worshipping community of the 21st century.

Rick was a candidate for ministry from Wesley and has come home after retirement and now ministers in his home congregation. He is married to Linda and is the father of Beth and Amy (Scott Bolton) and grandfather of Lucy and Molly.
