Eastington Methodist Church Placement Information |
|
Welcome
Background information
Eastington Methodist Church is a small rural village church with an established work with children and young people. The church comes under the ministry of Rev Noel Sharp and is part of the Gloucestershire Circuit. It is located 4 miles west of Stroud close to Junction 13 of the M5. The church wants to build upon its existing work with young people and extend it. There is a particular emphasis and need to encourage the development of a real living faith in our Lord Jesus amongst this age group. Funding
is available to support this placement for 3 years.
If you have a calling to reach young people and disciple them and are able to inspire them, please seek the Lord's will as to whether you should apply to join us in this work. The rest of this web site provides information about the
church, the position and what we are looking for.
