The Diocese of Peterborough will not be open for applications for the Ministry Experience Scheme for the coming academic year (September 2026-August 2027). We are reviewing and renewing our provision of the scheme with the intention of relaunching in September 2027. Please do check this website for further details in the months to come. If you have any enquiries about MES, please contact jenny.paddison@peterborough-diocese.org.uk
The Diocese is fully committed to supporting all young adults wishing to explore ministry; if this is something you are interested in, check out our vocations pages here: https://www.peterborough-diocese.org.uk/aboutus/diocesan-staff-teams/team-vocation.php
Are you ready for an adventure? 
The Peterborough Diocese Ministry Experience Scheme (MES) is a voluntary, flexible and action-packed internship year. It runs from the start of September through to the summer, with full-time and part-time options available. If you have a sense of God's calling but are not sure where to start, this could be the perfect way to explore a future in ministry without committing to forever.
By signing up you’ll receive:
• A wide range of ministry experience
• Theological development
• Practical training
• 1:1 mentoring support
• A weekly allowance of £156*
*The Ministry Experience Scheme is open to anyone over the age of 18 with no upper age limit. Those aged 18-30 are eligble for funding (and the weekly allowance).
At the heart of this year is an investment in you with practical training and personal development. Watch the video below to hear from Caleb, Martha, Brandon, Jessica & Olivia who have previously completed their internship.
