Our Ministries Team is here to support, encourage and equip ministers to flourish throughout their journey of ministry. Guided by our vision of healthy ministers, serving healthy churches, for God’s mission, we work through four interconnected pillars: Formation, Identity, Mission and Justice, to nurture healthy, sustainable and fruitful ministry across our Baptist family.
