Craig Dyer has just announced that he is leaving his post as Training Director of Christianity Explored Ministries (CEM) to take up a new role on the pastorate of Hamilton Baptist Church (HBC), central Scotland, from September.
Dyer told en: ‘What strikes me is that, even during 15 years with CEM, as I have travelled around the world, I never really stopped thinking like a pastor. I had worked in that capacity for almost 20 years prior to my time at CEM. Then, it was great to meet elders and pastors of churches around the world and to have a good understanding of the joys and challenges they face.
‘I also had the privilege of serving on the preaching team of the church to which my wife Margaret and I belonged, which really helps to keep itinerant gospel ministry rooted. But over the last few years I have felt increasingly drawn back to settled local church ministry and that growing sense coincided with the conviction of HBC that I might serve there.’
