MINISTER
The Methodist Minister serving us at Acomb Methodist church is the Rev Andy Lindley. He is responsible for the leadership, mission and spiritual nurture of the church and the surrounding community of Acomb. At Acomb, we are fortunate to have a local worship development team which works with preachers, ministers and lay volunteers from Methodist churches across York to offer a range of weekly worship services.
In addition to this church, Andy is the Assistant Chair of the Yorkshire North East District with a remit for New Streams of faith communities and worship and has pastoral charge of nearby Southlands Methodist, with Louisa (below) and West Thorpe Methodist Church.

Church Stewards
A team of four Church Stewards and several representatives from different aspects of the church’s life and mission work with the minister in the leadership the church. As well as providing support to the minister the stewards have a particular responsibility for ensuring that worship services of the church take place. Stewards are elected from within the membership of the church and usually serve for up to four years.
Church Council
The Church Council is the decision-making and legally responsible body in the Church. All formal correspondence with the church should be addressed to the secretary of the church council, Lois Broadbent, at the church address.
Pastoral Care
All members and regular worshippers are included in the pastoral care system, which is the formal way in which the people of the church exercise care for each other. We use a combination of methods to ensure pastoral care is available in a way that is appropriate to each person. Some choose to have a pastoral visitor, others receive care through their house group. More hi-tech options are also available. The pastoral care work is coordinated by the minister, lay pastor and the pastoral secretary, Joan North, to support a church community where all are cared for.
