Authorised Pastoral Assistants are trained and authorised to engage in pastoral ministry on behalf of the local church, working as part of a team of clergy and laity.
It is exciting to think that every Christian has a vocation (or ‘calling’) to become more of the person God wants them to be. That vocation will always include a call towards knowing and loving Christ more deeply, towards loving and serving other people, and caring for the world God has given to us to share.
