Mutual Ministry Review

Planning for ministry, doing the work, and reviewing or re-flecting on what we have done constitutes the mutual ministry cycle. This introduction to the guide describes the cycle, connects it to Scripture, and provides an overview of crucial steps for its implementation. The balance of the guide focuses on the review aspect of the cycle, because it has been the source of so much conflict and lost opportunity. To learn more, the Living into our Ministries by Vital Practices is a guide and workbook.

Our Kids Youth Commission

Guided by Robert Putnam's findings in his book Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis, the Our Kids Commission of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire is committed to helping our congregations step into the "Opportunity Gap" for low-income and vulnerable children and their families in the state of New Hampshire. The Bishop’s “charge” to the Commission is “to find and serve the Child Jesus in our communities by helping congregations move away from asking “how can we get more young people from our community in the doors of our church?” to “how can we go out the doors of our church to serve the needs of young people in our communities?”  His goal is to create an easier “on ramp” for committed people in our churches to serve all our children as tutors, mentors, and advocates.  

Grants are available to congregations to develop, expand, or explore programs that will address the Opportunity Gap.

School for Ministry

Recognizing the changing needs of the diocese’s congregations and evolving trends in vocations for ministry throughout the region, the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire has announced it is creating a School for Ministry. Its curriculum and educational design will focus on the local and regional formation of priests and licensed lay ministers. The School for Ministry’s teaching model will utilize curriculum from the Iona Collaborative and combine online, internet-based learning with monthly, weekend in-person classes and student meetings. The in-person portion of the program will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church in the central Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Click here for more information about the School for Ministry.
