Inclusive

As a District, we are committed to growing a flourishing sustainable network of circuits of worshipping communities which are growing, evangelistic, justice-seeking, and inclusive in their outworking of the mission of God

The Methodist Church is committed to Justice, Dignity and Solidarity.

We believe that all people are uniquely made in the image of God, and we aim to live this out in the Church and in our communities.

Here are some of the areas the District are focusing to support you:

• To encourage Churches and Circuits to see how safeguarding is core to our mission.
• To ensure all necessary personnel have completed both 'Unconscious Bias training' and EDI advanced module training through the Methodist online learning platform.
• To publicise and assist the role of the DARS (Discrimination and Abuse Response Service) service across the District
• To promote resources and opportunities that enrich our commitment to being inclusive through the work of the JDS District Committee and the Learning Network

We encourage you to contact the District Mission Team as you seek work on this vital principle.
