Ben Doolan: Leading a Growing Church in the Church of England

Welcome to the Leadership Community Podcast. In this episode, you are listening to our conversation with Ben Doolan. Ben leads St Thomas' Church in Newcastle, a resource church within the Church of England. He's also part of the NewWine National Leadership team. Ben describes himself as an extrovert who loves cooking and travelling. He's also a loyal supporter of Hull City Football Club. We talked about what it is like to lead a growing Church and the journey he and his team have had at St Thomas' as we asked some of the following questions: • How would you describe the Church of England? And what a resource Church is? • What is the role of the vicar & does it need to change?  • What have you done to build a healthy culture? • How have you managed to reach young adults so effectively? • How does the Church stay relevant?   Thank you for being a part of our community. We look forward to sharing more leadership insights with you in the future! Don't forget to like & subscribe so you never miss an episode.
