Ministry Mentor Directory
The Ministry Mentor Directory is an open access resource that creates a neutral space for any Anglican exploring or on the journey toward lay/ordained ministry in the Church of England. The Directory is aimed at those who could be identified as being historically under-recognised in the Church of England.
Our mentors would love to walk alongside you on your vocational journey. All our mentors are trained volunteers who are passionate about supporting people from underrepresented groups on their vocational journey. We are here for you whether you are considering lay or ordained ministry. None of the mentors will be part of your discernment process. They are there to accompany you on your vocational journey.
You can decide to have a mentor at any point of your journey. You choose the time, location, and frequency of interaction with your mentor.
Ideally your mentor would work or live nearby so that you can potentially meet in person. However, most mentees meet their mentor via Zoom, Microsoft Teams or by phone. How you interact with your mentor is totally up to you.
Use the filters and the search function below to find the mentor who aligns with where you'd like to proceed on your journey and to get in touch to start a conversation.
Be courteous
Our mentors graciously offer their time to help their mentees explore lay or ordained ministry. We recognise that circumstances can change and that the best-laid plans can be derailed. After sending your first email to your potential mentor and throughout the journey of mentorship, as a courtesy, please remember to update them if your situation changes and/or you change your mind.
