The Diocese of Derby now seeks applications from outstanding candidates for two Archdeacon posts, to join us in living out that vision in three newly created Archdeaconries (the current Archdeacon of Chesterfield will become Archdeacon of Derbyshire Peak and Dales).
Our vision is that all may encounter and know the love of God.
Following a restructuring of responsibilities within the denomination, the Free Church of England is looking to appoint an engaging and supportive individual to be the new Company Secretary of the Free Church of England Central Trust and General Secretary of the Free Church of England. The role holder will work with our Bishops and other leaders to enable growth and effectiveness in the ministry of the Church.
The Team Leader will have an overview of all ministry training in the diocese, including IME phase 2 and the broad spectrum of lay ministry. They will lead an enthusiastic team of colleagues, including both staff and volunteers. The training team sits within a wider diocesan team which is rich in experience and gifts, offering great opportunities for collaboration.
Do you have a passion for lay leadership? Could you bring your skills to support the laity of our diocese identify and nurture their callings?
