Pioneer Ministries

Anji is leading a movement of pioneer ministry within the West Midlands URC! Her role is to help local churches who want to engage their neighbourhoods in innovative and collaborative ways. The Seedbeds Pioneer Hub  https://seedbeds.org/newbigin-pioneering-hub-2/  has trained a number of local pioneers who are now spread across four communities in the West Midlands. Anji’s role is to help support and resource their work. She would love to meet with you and help you explore pioneering, and new and potential pioneers for the West Midlands URC.
