Introducing our Ambassadors Network

We are growing a network of Mustard Seed Ambassadors with people from across the Diocese of York who have a passion to support mission in our poorest communities. An Ambassador recognises that being more fortunate, they have a responsibility towards ‘their neighbours’ and are therefore called into action. An Ambassador might describe themselves as a ‘helper’, ‘supporter’ or ‘advocate’, someone who comes alongside and is able to build a supportive relationship with and commitment to a Mustard Seed church and its community.

Watch the films below to find out more about being a Mustard Seed Ambassador.
