Heulwen is the Pastor at Century Church, and is passionate about local church. Her day to day involves all the things that come with leading a church, from mid-week studies to supporting those in need, to building projects (check out The Siloah Project), to working hard to make Sundays excellent. Heulwen works alongside some incredible people with the aim of giving glory to God and seeing many people come home.
With over a decade of experience preaching in local church, Heulwen is a confident and creative preacher. With a first class honours in English Literature and a Masters in Theology, she combines exposition with creativity, humour with authenticity, helping bring age-old truths to light. She has a passion to reach the lost, knowing exactly what coming home felt like.
What began as a one-off creative experiment quickly became a valued tool in the kit of communication. Poetry has a way of connecting with the heart, and Heulwen's Spoken Words have time and time again resonated with people, helping them connect with timeless truths. With rhythm and rhyme, these words are honed to help hearts connect with something of the divine.
Heirs was founded by Heulwen in 2022 in the aftermath of the Pandemic. After God opened her eyes to the suffering of children, she felt compelled to act. She therefore launched Heirs.Wales, working with Social Services and the Police to help Looked After Children, believing that every life is valuable, made in the image of God: made to be Heirs, not orphans, sons and daughters, not statistics.

If you sit with Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 11–12 — that strange, upside-down boast in weakness, you'll realise that it’s easy to quote, but harder to live — and a challenge to understand in its original context. Paul wasn’t just being humble; he was dismantling an entire cultural understanding of power. In 'Perfect Power', I explore how Paul’s 'Fool’s Speech' turns the Greco-Roman world’s obsession with status, masculinity, and self-promotion completely on its head. While others boasted of lineage, eloquence, and strength, Paul points to weakness, suffering, and scars — and says this is where Christ’s power rests. It’s a message I think we need: that the strength of the Church — and the believer — is not found in polish or performance, but in dependence on Jesus. When we are weak, then we are strong.
