Church at Work - Renewing Ministry
Renewing Ministry
In 2003, the diocese introduced ‘Renewing Ministry’, a strategy to encourage growth by drawing churches into co-operative clusters called Mission and Ministry Areas (MMAs), enabling them to benefit from the advantages of working together more closely and specifically to share vision and resources in the witness and service they offer in the communities they serve. Each MMA is led by an Area Vicar but the strategy assumes that the whole people of God - clergy and lay together - will be empowered to share in faithful obedience to their calling. The emphasis in MMAs is intended to be upon the development of fruitful and trusting relationships, rather than the construction of uniform and elaborate institutional structures, and thus there are many differences between the 59 MMAs in the diocese. However, the hope is that all are characterised by a spirit of co-working in the Gospel for the sake of serving God's people and building God's Kingdom in the communities of Derbyshire.
MMAs (Mission & Ministry Areas)
Last Updated on Monday, 12 April 2010 00:10
Mission and Ministry Areas are associations of parishes in informal yet structured relationships with one another to share vision and resources for mission and ministry in the communities they serve.
Leadership is offered by the Area Vicar, who is appointed by the Bishop to convene clergy and lay representatives (often in an MMA Council) to help shape and direct their common life and shared witness.
The intention is that MMAs will be light in terms of structure, but effective as a means of building trustful and creative missionary communities in developing relationships for the sake of the Kingdom and the mission of the Church.
