Lay Commissioned Roles

Do you feel called to a specific ministry in your local church? And want to support your community in mission?
The Diocese of Exeter is partnering with a variety of well established organisations to help equip and enable the local church in mission. We hope that through the delivery of high quality training, tried and tested resources, and mission funding, local commissioned leaders and volunteers will feel supported and valued by the church today.

Maybe you have a passion for leading or supporting children’s work, or would like to give more time for youth work. Maybe you feel a calling to be an evangelist, or maybe try out new mission activities through innovative and creative methods. Maybe you are a registered nurse and would like to take on the role of a parish nurse from your home church; or support your church with eco enabling and mission in God’s creation. There are many different ministries, and many gifts distributed by the Holy Spirit. As we consider our own purpose and passion in the life of the church we hope you might find the help and backing to flourish right here in the Church of England in Devon.
