Network

Serving others is one of the key principles of the church and the central plank of this area is our enabling people to find their God-given place within the body of Christ. We seek to achieve this through Network.

Part of our growing in discipleship includes being involved in ministry of some kind. We help you discover your ministry by offering you the Network process of:

- discovery sessions
- a personal consultation
- becoming involved in ministry

This process helps you to identify your passion, your spiritual gifts and your personal style, which ensures you serve in a way and in a place that God designed you for, either in St. Matthew’s or through St. Matthew’s and for which you will receive appropriate training.

This process involves three evenings or two Saturdays followed by a one hour consultation and then exploring opportunities for serving.

Opportunities to Serve

There are many opportunities to serve in and through St. Matthew's & St. Oswald's, helping to fulfil all our purposes within the church community and the local community. These range from working in our children's ministries or worship ministries through to being a member at our Homelessness Project.

To be involved in most ministries we often expect people to have been members for at least 6 months and we encourage them to go on the Network process.
