Sabbaticals

A sabbatical is a gift of the Church to its ministers.

A gift of rest, refreshment and renewal.

Our District Sabbaticals Group

Ministers take a sabbatical in every seventh year of minister and it is a gift of the Church.

The South East District Sabbaticals Group is here to support ministers in preparing for and getting the most out of their sabbatical. 

Our Sabbaticals Secretary aims to contact those due sabbaticals about 18 months before the year a sabbatical is due, but if you have not been contacted, and you believe yours is due, or if you have any other queries, please contact the secretary via the District Office, or their contact details listed in the district directory.

Resources and further guidance for ministers and local supports groups are available on the Methodist Church Website.
