The Mission Enabling Team
The Team is a District response to the Methodist Church's priority “to proclaim and affirm its conviction of God's love for us and for all the world; and renew confidence in God's presence and action in the world and in the Church". The Team's remit covers Spirituality, Faith Sharing, Discipleship, and Fresh Expressions of Church. The Mission Enabling Team is:

• committed to the mission of God in West Yorkshire
• offering our gifts, experience, insights
• seeking to discern the ways God wants us to work
• believing that faith centred on Jesus pushes us to the edges
• changing the focus from inward to outward
• trying to be flexible, open, full of hope
• avoiding arrogance and the illusion of quick-fix solutions
• excited by the stories we are hearing and want to share
• a group of people ready to work with circuits and churches serious about mission

We're working with circuits, churches, leading Retreats and Quiet Days, exploring training opportunities. You can read about the work we're involved in on the other pages in our section which cover the 'Mission Shaped Intro' course and 'Touring West Yorkshire'. Do think about how we might work with you ....

The Mission Enabling Team members are:
Nick Blundell, Stephanie Jenner, Martin Bashforth, Charlotte Common, Tim Moore, Paul Welch, Darrell Cummins, Jim Hope, Roger Munday, Alistair Newton and Ruth Parry (Chair).
