Members of the Faith and Order Committee

Are you a member of the Methodist Church seeking to use your theological skills, expertise and gifts in a new way?

Do you have a good understanding of Methodist theology, doctrine and polity?  Are you able to participate in open critical debate and listen to a diversity of perspectives?  Are you able to engage critically with a variety of documents?  Do you have research and drafting skills?  Do you have a particular area of theological interest?  Could you make a significant contribution to an important and hard working body in the Methodist Church?

We are seeking members of the Faith and Order Committee to start from 1 September 2026, for a term of up to six years. The Secretary of the Committee, the Revd Dr Mark Rowland, is always happy to have informal conversations about the work of the Committee. Contact details available on our website. 

Expressions of interest are invited from lay and ordained members of the Methodist Church in Britain. The Committee wishes to increase diversity amongst its membership, and therefore would particularly welcome applications from lay and minority ethnic members of the Church.

Closing Date: 15 March 2026

Discernment Conversations to be held on: 27 March 2026

If you require reasonable adjustments to be made at any stage of the recruitment process, please contact: the HR team.
