Frequently Asked Questions

Any ministry specific questions can be sent to the Ministry Leader on request.

When do I need to submit my application?

Applications can be submitted all through the year

What is the structure of the team? (Useful contacts)

Each Ministry is overseen by a Leader and an assistant Leader. For a full list of Ministry Leaders and how to contact them, please contact office@newlifecanterbury.org

Will I have to serve each Sunday?

Not all ministries serve on a Sunday morning, but if you are looking to join a Sunday morning ministry (e.g. Worship team, Welcome team, Praisers…) then you will be part of a rota system of service and may be on duty up to 3 times month. However, as a minister in the church you should have a heart dedicated to supporting unscheduled requests to serve which may arise during the year.
