Job description
As a diocesan family, we are renewing our commitment to our vision and goals. We are putting fresh energy into Living Christ’s Story, and delivering strategic programmes focused on our aims: becoming more like Christ; reaching those we currently don’t; growing churches of missionary disciples; and transforming our finances and structures.
Growing and renewing Lay Ministry lies at the heart of Living Christ’s Story. This role is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the initial formation of lay ministers as part of that wider strategy.
This role will involve you in collaborative working within this emerging team who, together, will oversee the journey from vocation, through discernment and initial formation to deployment and support for lay ministers. Your role will be to focus on the initial formation by developing and growing the programme for a range of lay ministries which began in Autumn 2023.
It will include developing and extending the Deepening Discipleship Programme (DDP) which is a vehicle for the formation of Authorised Lay Ministers in the Diocese, developing an IME 1 pathway for Licensed Lay Ministers, developing informal learning for Lay Church Officers, and contributing with others to post authorisation work for ALM and for LLM some of which may be locally delivered and others of which we signpost to regional and national resources.
Only fully completed applications through Pathways will be accepted; applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Deadline for applications is: Monday 8th April 2024 at 12.00pm
Interviews are scheduled for: Wednesday 17th April 2024
