District Leads will help to normalise, support and embed the vision and culture needed for New Places for New People to flourish across the Connexion.

Why are we appointing New Places for New People district leads?

“We believe grassroots change needs grassroots support.”

Since 2019, New Places for New People has grown through collaborative, relational work across districts, circuits and the Connexional Team. Appointing a district lead is a natural next step, offering focused support to develop existing communities and encourage new ones to emerge.

How will this work?

Every district will receive funding for a dedicated half-time New Places for New People lead. These leads won’t work alone. They will partner with both the District NPNP team and Connexional NPNP team to:

  • identify, encourage and inspire local pioneers
  • help shape a shared vision for New Places for New People across the district
  • journey alongside the emerging communities
  • support the faith formation and discipleship of all ages within the communities.

If your district would like help preparing for the NPNP lead appointment, please contact us:
