London Ministry Experience Scheme

Diocese of London Logo

The diversity of London life and its people makes this an exciting and stimulating environment to be involved in God’s mission. Being part of MES in London will give you the best possible opportunity to serve and to grow for 1 or 2 years.

You could live in community in East, North or West London.  You could work with a church of any tradition in the Church of England.  You could explore ministry with the poor and learn how priesthood is exercised in a missional context.

Don’t worry about how confident you feel right now, the key is to offer yourself, and God will do the rest. We will take your own church tradition, particular gifts, needs and interests into account so that you can flourish in a challenging new place.

We will support you with theological study, practical training, project visits, a retreat and time for study and reflection.

If you are 18-30 and want to find out who and what God is calling you to be, then it is completely FREE for you to join!

The London MES wants to make a positive contribution to the life of the Church of England, by providing a steady stream of gifted and fired up young people into the work place, into youth work, and for some into ordination.

Please feel free to contact us if you want an informal chat over zoom before you apply to find out more at [email protected]
