The Ministry Development Team (MDT) has four main roles:

• To consider what St Mary’s Church should be and do
• To consider what contribution every member can make
• To consider what support and training are needed
• To consider how well the church is doing in the fulfilment of its vision

The MDT therefore sets the spiritual direction of the church. It identifies, and seeks to release, spiritual gifts and ministries identifying training needs and opportunities.

The MDT is a leadership mechanism, not a body that undertakes practical tasks. Licensed by the Bishop, it is accountable to the PCC.

Current members of the MDT are:

• Chris Burnell
• Revd John Lambert
• Jen Meadows
• Mark Nile
• Kath Snowdon
