District Leading Team members (volunteer position)

We are seeking two lay people to join our District Leading Team – serving, guiding and co-ordinating the life of our district as our trustee body.

If you are excited by the prospect of enabling and inspiring missional change and growth this could be an opportunity to make a significant impact.

The team meets 6 – 8 times per year. We focus on implementation and development of our For Such A Time As This strategy for resourcing mission, and on impactful governance and oversight.

We are most effective when we collectively understand the diversity of current experiences of life at the coalface of mission and ministry across our district, and identify strategic resources and sharing of expertise that can be applied to enable visions to be rekindled, opportunities to be grasped, and barriers overcome.

We are comfortable that our people, churches and circuits carry differing theologies and respond contextually, bringing their unique gifts and passions. Our role is to do all we can for them to be equipped to respond for such a time as this.

Further information about the District Leading Team is included in the downloadable role description document.

If you are interested in becoming a member of DLT please submit an Expression of Interest Form to Rev Gill Newton chair@sheffieldmethodist.org.

Being a team with diverse lived experiences is an important part of how we make wise decisions. We particularly keen to recruit lay members who are women or from BAME backgrounds.
