We are recruiting now!
Street Pastors are volunteers recruited from local Christian churches that we feel confident can fulfil the commitment to training and regular patrols ( approximately one night per month).
We always welcome people, as a first step, to come out with us on patrol as an observer.
The next stages are:
- We take up references from their local church leader and one other person and carry out an enhanced DBS check before allowing an applicant to be commissioned.
- Initial training takes about 3 days including a full day Roles and Responsibilities course run by a trainer from our parent body, Ascension Trust and 3 or 4 other courses either online or in person in an evening or at a weekend.
- The new Street Pastor can then be commissioned in a short ceremony in their church during a service or in a small group, depending on their preference. They then join the rota and will patrol about once a month.
