God's call emerges through prayer and is shaped by Christian experience and with others who discern and encourage.
We seek to foster a culture in which vocations can be identified, nurtured and celebrated so the whole Church can grow and flourish.
God may be calling you to a specific ministry, whether lay or ordained.
Ministry Development Team
The Ministry Development Team exists to renew ministry in the Church of England. In doing so, we support the mission of the Church.
We want to grow vocations to ordained ministry, promote equal status between lay and ordained ministries, and help foster a culture of discipleship throughout the Church.
We do this by supporting bishops, dioceses and the theological education sector to achieve growth and flourishing. This includes national stewardship of resources, developing effective polices, sharing best practice and providing expertise, guidance, resources and leadership.
Underpinning all our work is the opportunity to reach out to those who have been underrepresented, whether because of gender, class or ethnicity.
