Specialist Ministry

• A survey has been developed to capture a snapshot of specialist ministries in the Diocese.

• A draft policy to support wider uptake of interns across the Diocese was considered by the PMC in April 2022.

Specialist ministry survey

Our Diocese is blessed to have a number of people, lay and ordained, paid and volunteer, who have specialised skills and who serve their parish in their area/s of specialty.

To better support and connect those who are serving in specialist ministries, the Parishes and Other Mission Agencies Commission is seeking to capture a snapshot of specialist ministers in our Diocese through an online survey.

The survey is intended for any lay or ordained person who leads a specific parish ministry area in a paid or voluntary capacity. For example, a person who leads others in one of the areas listed below.

Please assist by forwarding a link to this webpage to any specialist ministry leaders in your parish, asking them to complete the survey.
