It aims to help policymakers, the media and the public understand the extent of the challenges churches face. If you work or volunteer at a church, your response will help build a clearer picture of the work you do.The more churches that participate, the more impactful it will be. The survey is live from 6 May – 30 June. Thank you. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SURVEY |

If finance is an issue for your church, please contact your Regional Minister, as we wouldn't want the cost of training to prevent people from attending.

Job Vacancies
Details about vacancies in the EMBA and more widely can be found on the EMBA WEBSITE VACANCIES PAGE
Please have a look at your church's "spot" on the CHURCHES PAGE on our website and let us know if any contact info needs updating. It would help people to find you if there was a photo of your building and your website and/or contact email address. We know that the first contact many people have when looking for a church is their website so something that's easy to find helps. We can also add your social media info. Contact SARAH with any updates.
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
