Continuing Ministerial Development
A healthy approach to ministry involves a commitment to both ongoing learning and accountability. This benefits the minister themselves, their families and their churches or mission settings. The Ministries Team has introduced a framework for Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD), with which every accredited or recognised Baptist minister is strongly encouraged to engage. |

Crisis media support
From time to time things go wrong in the local church - there could be a difficult issue, or a local disaster or a tragedy might occur. At times like this the local church can feel very vulnerable as they try to cope with crisis media attention and potential negative publicity. We are here to help you navigate through these difficult times.

In your ministry you may hear voices you disagree with or perspectives you hadn’t come across. The Listening area of our website features listening resources, perspectives on areas of our shared life where there may be pain and disagreement, as well as insights into missional listening. |

Ministry
These are both exciting and challenging days to be a Baptist minister. Our understanding of what ministers are called to do is changing along with the place of Christian faith in Britain. Across the Baptist family, women and men are following God’s call into very different forms of ministry. Find out more about ministry and the support available to you.

The Safeguarding area of the website has all the information you'll need, including the name of your local Safeguarding contact who will be able to support your church.
