The Guide – Region 1 Making Sense of Focal Ministry

Welcome

Want to know what Focal Ministers do and how they fit into the Church of England at this time? Then this is the Region for you.

Entering the land of Focal Ministry can be a bit daunting. Most people feel a little disoriented as they disembark. The Guide is here to help with your orientation, and if you are new to Focal Ministry, we suggest you start with this region. It will help you clarify what Focal Ministers do and how it fits in wider Church life.

There are three sites to visit.

Site 1 Church – What it is All About locates Focal Ministry in the big picture of why the Church exists.
Site 2 Focal Ministry – What Focal Ministers Do explores the five main responsibilities of Focal Ministry.
Site 3 The Church of England – How Focal Ministry Fits considers why we now have Focal Ministers and how they relate to ordained ministers.
