From secondary school to training as a Baptist minister
Clare Stones' life has changed when she left her senior leadership role in a local secondary school to begin training as a Baptist minister. She has been supported in all sorts of ways by both her local church, West Hucknall Baptist Church, and by the EMBA (East Midlands Baptist Association) staff team.
As well as the practical support she has received a Minister in Training Grant, which is funded from Home Mission giving.
Sarah Fegredo, EMBA comms lead, chatted with Clare, Student Minister at West Hucknall Baptist Church about her calling to train for ministry, support from Home Mission and the EMBA, and the dreams she and the church share for ministry in their community.
