Ministry Profile

Tony Bryce, BA (Hons)., MA., PGCE, Dip.SW, is a keen student and gifted teacher of Biblical wisdom for  life and living. Co-founder and lead teacher to Answers of Peace, Tony became a Christian in 1984 while in his penultimate year of High school. From his conversion at age 15, Tony has had a sense of calling to the ministry and an insatiable appetite to be a student of the Word. Recognising and confirming his call to Christian ministry in his youth, Tony was released by the ministers he has served under to function in a range of ministries, primarily in the field of Bible teaching and Christian Education.

In 1988, whilst completing his post 16 education, Tony also began studies towards a BA (Hons) in Bible Theology with ICI Bible Study, completing with distinction several modules in Bible and Theology before taking up full time employment in 1989 and going on to University to train as a social worker in 1992.

Over the years Tony has designed and delivered Answers of Peace training courses, facilitated groupwork, workshops and seminars, has spoken at conferences and conventions, summer schools and study days and has provided optimum living coaching and consultation to individuals and organisations.

In addition to the programmes on this website, Tony is the developer and principal trainer of the parenting programme, Parent Talk: Nurturing Children’s Emotional Health and Resilience, and author of the book, Principles of Creation: Manifesting Your Finest and Best. He is also the creator of the seminar series, Youth Talk: PSHCE Skills for Life and Health; Family Talk: Fostering Family Life and Health and Couple Talk: Together We Can.

Supremely motivated to study, practice and teach evidence-supported biblical wisdom for living well, Tony's philosophy of ministry is influenced by a vision he had at age 17 and successful careers as a social worker, educator, child and family emotional health consultant and manager.

Denise Bryce, co-founder, administrator and workshop facilitator to Answers of Peace, leads the events and conference planning team. Denise became a Christian in 1979 and has served as a worship leader, youth Sunday school teacher, mentor and personal adviser. Denise is best known for her ministry in song, both as a lead vocalist and as a member of a concert choir. Denise is particularly skilled at  event management, one to one coaching and workshop facilitation. Denise has an entrepreneurial streak which is an asset to the ministry.

Tony and Denise are parents to 2 boys and currently reside in the North of England.
