Recognised Local Ministry

Across the Baptist family, many people offer invaluable ministry to their local church or community but find that training to be an accredited Baptist minister is either not their calling or not possible in their circumstances.  Yet we want to support and recognise those who faithfully serve their church or neighbourhood in this way as pastors, pioneers, evangelists, chaplains, or children’s, youth or families workers. Others - young adults especially, perhaps - are tentatively exploring a calling to ministry, but feel that their calling at this moment is to their particular location.

Recognised Local Ministry is the option for those who are already ‘doing the work’ in their setting and would value additional training to support them in that. For all of these, Baptists Together have introduced a new category of Recognised Local Minister - please check out the Baptists Together website which details the processes and training involved.
