The role of Churchwarden is crucial for the life, ministry and mission of a parish church. Thank you for responding to God’s call to fulfil this role in your church. To support you in your role, we encourage you to take advantage of the learning resources on offer for all church members. Sharing leadership with the parish priest is a spiritual task; our Growing as a Disciple course can help you deepen your faith and better equip you for that leadership role. Part of the responsibility you share is ensuring that everyone in your church is safe to grow and thrive in their faith and participation in church life. Our safeguarding training supports you in that undertaking. In addition, we are developing a learning resource specifically for churchwardens, that will soon be available on this site, as one of a whole series of Learning Resources for Growth on topics including life with God, community engagement, church life and worship, and church organisation. Check back here as we bring new courses online and let us know what courses you think would be helpful by emailing learning@elydiocese.org.
