As a very new church, we can already identify obvious needs in many areas of ministry and service, and expect to discover many more as our church programme develops over these next eighteen months. In fact, one of the great attractions of coming to work with us at Emmanuel Church is the opportunity to be involved in something developing rapidly, where it isn’t yet all well-established. Nevertheless, we can already say that we expect that each of our Ministry Trainees will be involved in one or more of the following areas of church life:

• work with 14-18 year-olds (our YPF)
• music group leadership
• Christianity Explored group
• work with children in Rocks (3-7 year olds) or Boulders (7-11 year olds)
• evangelism training / outreach committee

Potential future areas of ministry (with which Ministry Trainees may be involved) may include:

• school assemblies and after-school Christian clubs
• door-to-door evangelism
• a potential ‘shop front’ ministry
• developing an outreach work amongst the elderly
• work with young mums with children
