Welcome

The Ministry team’s work covers a range of activities seeking to encourage, equip and develop the calling of all God’s people, including discernment, selection, training and ongoing support for those in a wide variety of lay and ordained ministries.

The Committee for Ministry is chaired by the Bishop of Stockport.

Our vision is one of enabling the ministry of the whole people of God, whether in specific ministries (ordained and licensed lay ministries) or in the central call of all Christians to live out their faith in the world and the church. 

We work in the areas of:

  • Vocation and Selection of Ordinands
  • Women in Ministry
  • Continuing Ministerial Development
  • Spirituality
  • Initial Ministerial Education 
  • Reader Ministry
  • Pastoral Worker Ministry
  • Resourcing Leadership and Discipleship
  • Self-supporting Ministry
  • Ministerial Development Review
