Have you considered becoming a trustee of the Methodist Church?
Trustees are people who lead a charity and make sure it achieves the aims it was set up to do. They are responsible for ensuring compliance with the law, and put the needs of the people it supports first. They use their skills and experience to support the organisation, helping them make well-informed decisions.
Within the Methodist Church there has been a general consensus that the Connexion needs leaders who have a clear vocation to strategic and missional leadership, who work collegially with lay and ordained colleagues, and who are enabled to focus on Our Calling through being adequately supported and resourced.
The connexional leadership in the Methodist Church is exercised by the Methodist Conference, the Connexional Council and Committees with particular responsibilities.
The Connexional Council is the Church’s Trustee Body under the Charities Act and is supported by the work of four major committees with responsibility for four major areas of the Connexion’s life: Mission, Ministries, Resourcing, and Audit and Risk Assurance.
