Voluntary Role: District Sabbaticals Group Member
- Salary: Voluntary. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
- Closing date: Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
Sabbaticals are a required part of a presbyter's or deacon’s performance of his or her duties. They can be extremely beneficial both for the individual minister and for the health of the wider Church and can significantly enhance the ministry of the whole people of God.
Sabbaticals are part of the continuing development of ministers and as such need to be carefully planned, well in advance. In the West Midlands District, Sabbaticals are guided and monitored by the District Sabbaticals Group. This group is responsible for approving the plans a minister makes for the time away from Circuit and also for accepting a report once the sabbatical is complete.
We are looking for people with good communications skills and an understanding of the nature of ministry and the value of sabbaticals to join the District Sabbaticals Group. Further information about the role can be found in the Role Description below.
For an informal discussion about the role please contact the District office to be put in contact with the Sabbaticals Secretary.
