Ordained Ministry

Thinking about Ordination?

Some people feel that God is calling them to Ordained Ministry in the Church

We take seriously the sense of call and we will work with you to explore it in a process that is spirit led, accessible, clear, supportive, challenging, and accountable. This can take a period of 10-18 months.

What do I do now?

  • Talk to your Incumbent (or if in Vacancy speak to the Rural Dean or other Clergy in your Benefice)
  • Have a look at this page from The Church of England Detailed process | The Church of England
  • Bishop’s Guidelines on Age Limits for Ordained Ministry can be found here
  • If you would like to have a further conversation with the Vocations Team email us here
