District Chair Revd Vicky Atkins

Vicky Atkins became Chair of the Sheffield Methodist District in September 2025. She is married to Andrew, who serves as a presbyter in the Barnsley Circuit.

The role of Chair requires Vicky to have oversight of and pastoral responsibility for all the ordained staff within the District and to develop particularly close working relationships with Superintendent Ministers, District Officers and District Staff.

Together with members of the District Leadership Team she is keen to discern missional priorities for the District. In addition, she looks to offer support and guidance to Circuits and churches as they develop their local sense of mission, through regular sharing in Circuit Leadership Team Meetings and by preaching in local contexts across the District.

Vicky also acts as the District's representative in ecumenical and civic settings
