Regional Ministers

The Regional Ministers have responsibility for ministerial settlement and pastoral care of Ministers and Churches. They also work with churches to look at future development, strategy and their vision for mission. Although they work together across the whole Association, for practical purposes, Dianne has pastoral oversight for churches and ministers in Leicestershire and Derbyshire and David has pastoral responsibility for churches and ministers in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Peterborough and Rutland.
