The District Mission Enabler will work with churches and circuits to help them reflect on their mission and discipleship in context, while also sharing in the leadership of the District alongside lay and ordained colleagues as we establish mission priorities and invest in equipping churches and circuits. They will also accompany circuits as they discern and establish New Places for New People (NPNP). These are projects focused on forming new Christian communities for those not yet part of an existing church. You can find more information atwww.methodist.org.uk/npnp

This is an exciting opportunity which is open to both lay and those who are ordained in the Methodist Church. Applicants will need to have experience in enabling church growth, knowledge of the needs for a wide ecology of faith engagement, and nurturing Christian communities. They will have skills in facilitation to accompany circuits and local churches in growth planning.

The appointment requires an enhanced DBS Disclosure and satisfactory references. An occupational requirement exists for the postholder to be a practising Christian.
