We continue to strongly encourage ministers to ensure they are sustaining their capability and well-being by attending to their Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD). Equally, we strongly encourage churches to support their minister’s CMD by making clear that they welcome the minister taking time to nurture the five CMD habits and by making at least £500 a year available for development activities. (Newly Accredited Ministers will already be practising the five CMD habits by engaging with their NAMs’ programme.) 

Last September, Ministries Team revised the Baptists Together Settlement Process that facilitates both ministers and churches in their search for fresh ministry. 

Churches that are in or are approaching a pastoral vacancy, and ministers looking to settle, can find guidance on our website.   
 

If you are a church minister who pays income tax you must complete a 2025 tax return. (Please see 
the Taxation section in this edition of Transform).
