About
Us
Jessica, along with her husband Gareth Cox, now run all aspects of Folly’s End alongside the Trustees.
Gareth and Jessica Cox have been married for 17 years and have two children. Gareth holds a BSc (hons) in Music Technology and Audio Systems Design. He travels the world as a sound engineer and production manager. Gareth has been heavily involved in worship within Folly’s End and oversees all our audio content.
Jessica has been a worship leader at Folly’s End for over 20 years. Together with her parents, Jessica travelled the world ministering with them. She is a 2nd Year Bible College student and passionate about teaching about God and the bible.
The focus of our ministry is to share the gospel, the almost too good to be true news, that Jesus died for us our sin, and was raised from the dead so that now we can live life in abundance.
The Trust’s mission is to share this with the UK which has always been our home and is our joy to serve. We’re passionate about supporting local churches and would love to join you in your church service or small groups. We’re available to speak or minister to groups of any size, with a focus on God’s grace, our authority, worship, marriage and raising a family.

What Our Podcast Is About?
Each week, we share what the bible has to say about a topic. But we don’t just share opinions — we go to the Word of God and invite His Spirit to shape our views, priorities and decisions.
Past topics:
- Your Best Year!
Whatever the time of year, it’s never too late to start strong, and align your plans with God’s purpose for your life. Learn to hear from God and let Him lead you. - Marriage
We look at how to have a great marriage. Not just one you’ll tolerate, but one you’ll love to be in. Turning to the bible to lead the way. - If God is so good, then why do bad things happen?
When bad things happen, it’s hard to process them. In this series, Jessica looks at this hard question and shares a part of God’s nature. - Special Music Podcasts
Rest and relax with soft background music whilst we share the word of God.
