Greenhill Methodist Church AGM 2026
## Ministers Report
Since the last AGM, Greenhill Methodist Church supported me while I took a three month Sabbatical.
I want to thank the Leadership team and all volunteers for continuing to serve the church and ensure that all aspects of the ministry of the church continued and flourished.
Our Interim Community Outreach worker – Naomi did an excellent job and this has resulted in her successful application and appointment of the full time permanent employment in the role. The process of advertising, interviewing was overseen by the Sheffield Methodist Circuit employment group including our District HR Officer. The finances to cover the role for at least the next three years is generated by the giving of the church members and grants relating to the community outreach work that Naomi is involved with leading.
The church has continued to offer discipleship courses which included the a weekend worship course with Presence Ministries and the most recent Dwell Richly course. Both courses included the whole congregation involvement and were well received.
Another Successful Alpha course was led by members of the Leadership team with our Community Outreach manager and a team of volunteer caterers. The fruit of this course was seen in the baptism of three people on Easter day and another who has since asked to be baptised before I leave at the end of July.
Volunteer led groups have continued to welcome our engagement with the community and as a result we have welcome several new people into the life of the church.
This is my final report as Minister of the church as Chris and I move to Plymouth. The Church is being support by the Circuit and the District in providing ministerial support for the coming year while a fuller stationing process takes place for the next longer term appointment being made. The Leadership team are in conversation with the District Mission Development Officer about possible funding for other church roles to enable the outreach and the administration needed to continue to grow. Any outcomes from these conversations will be brought to Church Council for further exploration and decision making in due course.
This has been a successful year and that is thanks to all those who volunteer to serve in the many areas of church life.
Thank you one and all.
