Acorn Christian Healing Foundation is a National Network of Healing Hubs, founded in 1983 by Bishop Morris Maddocks (then the Archbishop’s Advisor in Health and Healing) to resource the work of healing in the Anglican Church and ecumenically, and as a ministry to the wider community. The previous Director of Ministry (DoM), Revd Wes Sutton, retired at the end of 2024.
Acorn is engaged in sharing the healing presence of Christ, working and praying for health and wholeness for all through ministries of Healing; Education; Listening, and Reconciliation.
Our new Director of Ministry will lead the ministry of Acorn. Providing primary oversight and collaborative leadership with the DoO for staff, Hub Coordinators, and prayer volunteers; leading the educational aspects of Acorn; networking with other relevant organisations; and being the front-facing representative of Acorn at the national level. Though Acorn is primarily a UK-focused ministry, there have been some opportunities for international expansion, and we would welcome a Director with the passion and connections to further our reach. The role also includes some focus on development to secure the resources and connections to make Acorn’s visions a reality, alongside creatively pursuing new opportunities.
