Rev. Aly Fulford - Missioner
Aly‘s community focus bases her in the wider community of Ilfracombe as a representative of IBC. Along with being part of the Haven team, Aly spends much of her time supporting schools and youth provision in town. The Delta project is something Aly is especially passionate about as is her role as one of the Chaplains for Wellbeing, part of the ecumenical chaplaincy team at the Ilfracombe Academy. There are lots of amazing things happening in our town which Aly loves being involved in.
Aly’s favourite verse is found in the Haven section of this site. Another powerful Bible verse for Aly is Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Keith has been a member of IBC since he moved to Ilfracombe in 1985. A farmer ’by trade’, having been born on a farm, Keith has been in the farming business all his life and absolutely loves it! Keith is married to the lovely Mary and the couple have grown up children. Keith is a passionate about Jesus and is an inspiring preacher. His enthusiasm is contagious. Keith’s favourite Bible verse (below) is one that he has taken comfort in many times. Keith gives credit to God for looking after him and his family throughout all of life’s ups and downs! This was especially true during a time when his livelihood was threatened as BSE was on the farm and there was cases of foot and mouth disease only three miles away!
Keith’s favourite bible verse is Joshua 1:7 “Be strong and courageous...that you maybe successful wherever you go.”
