Each year, All Saints offers an apprenticeship year (or two) for young people who are exploring the possibility of future gospel ministry. The scheme consists of some serious study (through the South Coast Ministry Training Course), some basic experience of different aspects of ministry and some practical work in office administration or other support opportunities. All Saints has had seven apprentices (now called Ministry Trainees) to date.

Oli started working at all saints Lindfield in September 2011. He recently spent a month in Tanzania where he enjoyed working with street children and the deaf and disabled. 
Oli enjoys spending time working with children and young people and is looking forward to the coming year and how he can give of himself in this work. 

Oli also loves to eat, fact! So if you're wondering who to invite to dinner, then please consider Oli, he'd be very grateful.

        This page is designed to introduce the various members of the Staff team at All Saints and to describe the broad areas of responsibility each has.
This is not to imply that the mission and ministry of All Saints is not the responsibility of all church members, but only that some paid posts are necessary to help organize and enable the church to fulfil its potential in reaching out to our community.


        We are immensely blessed at All Saints by the dedicated and unstinting service of so many volunteers without whom the ministry could not function. Their LEADERSHIP service is greatly appreciated and valued. But we are always in need of more people to serve—in youth work, in ministry to the elderly, in outreach in schools, in maintenance and repair, in running the nuts and bolts of the many different aspects of church life. One of the main functions of the paid staff is to help build up the saints for the works of ministry.


I hope this page helps you see the varied work that goes on at All Saints— and that it stimulates you to be involved!
