New Places for New People district lead
Since the adoption of the God for All report at the Methodist Conference in 2019 we have celebrated the launch of New Places for New People (NPNP) communities in nineteen districts, alongside the diligent planning and preparation underway in the remaining districts. In June 2024, as part of our ongoing commitment to New Places for New People, the Methodist Conference pledged to invest in funding for every district to employ a New Places for New People district lead.
The NPNP district lead funding for all districts is scheduled to begin in September 2025.

Faith-Rooted Community Organising district lead
At the Methodist Conference in June 2024, as part of the God for All strategy, a commitment was made to extend the work of Faith-Rooted Community Organising over the next seven years. This includes employing a Connexional Faith-Rooted Community Organiser and providing funding for part-time Faith-Rooted Community Organiser leads in each Methodist district.
The Methodist Church has appointed a Connexional FRCO Officer, Deacon Kerry Scarlett commencing on 1st March 2025. Kerry will be available to support and accompany each district through the appointment process, through shared conversations, including inviting two or three individuals from each district to attend a training event to introduce FRCO.
Each district can then determine when they are ready to appoint the FRCO district lead, which can either be September 2025 or September 2026.
