Ministers' Handbook

God calls a wide range of people into different forms of ordained vocation and every person’s ministry is unique. This handbook is intended to bring together material to assist and support you as you carry out your ministry as a deacon or presbyter.

It might also be shared with members of the Circuit Leadership Team to give them further insight into your role.  The handbook aims to provide support for experienced ministers and for those starting out as probationer deacons and presbyters. It is intended as a reference guide to call on when needed but should not be regarded as a replacement to CPD.

The handbook will be reviewed annually.  Updates, suggestions and corrections are welcomed as we develop this resource together.  Please email mvw@methodistchurch.org.uk
