Vocations
Do you feel you might be called to Christian ministry of some sort, whether ordained or lay? Hannah runs the Vocations Advisers team, who are available to meet one-to-one with people who are exploring their calling. She also runs regular ‘Exploring Vocation to Ministry’ courses to help people consider if Church of England ministry might be for them.
Mission Resources
Developing opportunities to support our mission communities with evangelism, mission (in all its forms), church planting, as well growing leaders. The best thing about being the Church is that we get to talk to people about Jesus, and share our faith with others.
