Dear Friends

The Gathering


What a great day we had at The Well in Retford - a huge thank you to the team there for making us so welcome.

We’re pleased to announce that, as part of the day, Rev David Harvey was elected as a Director of the EMBA. Thank you to David for being willing to serve our churches in this way.

Core is Live!

Whether you are already involved in leadership, or considering stepping into a new role in an EMBA church, CORE Leadership Training is for you.

CORE is a series of short videos with accompanying worksheets, designed to explore the foundations of leadership in a Baptist church context.
You can watch the sessions and use the worksheets on your own, but they are even more valuable when used with a leadership team or a group from your church.

Our hope is that CORE will encourage and equip you on your leadership journey, and inspire further training and reflection as we serve God in different ways across our churches.

Job Vacancies

Details about vacancies in the EMBA and more widely can be found on the EMBA WEBSITE VACANCIES PAGE

Please can we ask that if you are about to go on sabbatical, leave or holiday and want to pause the emails you receive from EMBA, please get in touch so that we can make the adjustments. We'd ask that you do not unsubscribe without speaking to us as this can cause problems with how the EMBA holds your information rather than just not receiving emails. 

Please find the 
team's contact details here if you need to get in touch with anyone.

Blessings

EMBA Team
