We believe in the ministry of all believers and that every disciple has their part to play. There are many opportunities to grow in faith and discipleship, and to find ways of training and serving which are appropriate to each person.
Explore Your Calling
Moses was called to lead the Israelites our of captivity in Egypt. Simon and Andrew were called to leave their nets and follow Jesus, and Paul was called to be a missionary to the rest of the world.
As we read the Bible, we see how people are called by God. Some people agree straight away like Paul, others like Jeremiah feel inadequate, and Jonah ran away from his calling. God calls each of us in different ways throughout our life.
Ordination
The ordained ministry of deacons and priests is another calling that some explore. If you or others around you feel that you are being called to ordained ministry and want to explore further, please speak to your Vicar or Chaplain in the first instance.
