What's Next?

2023 will be a year of change and transition for Community Church Huddersfield.

 

What is Happening? – Trevor and Alison Lloyd who are the senior leaders of Community Church are stepping into new things. Dan Lush will be taking over the senior leadership role.

When will this happen? – The transition will take place on 4th February 2024, although there will be some changes taking place during 2023 to allow the actual transition to be as seamless as possible.

Why is this happening? – When Trevor and Alison returned to leadership six years ago they felt God call them to “Transformation and Transition”. After guiding us through much of that transformation they now feel the time is right for the church to transition to a new leadership.

What do I do if I have any questions or concerns?

Take a look below at our FAQs.

If you have any other questions or concerns you can get in touch with any member of the Core Leadership team either direct or through the church office.

How was this decided?
The core leadership team have spent two years working through a discernment process alongside other leaders including Richard and Judith Anniss from the Pioneer Network.

The process was initiated by Trevor and Alison and the leadership were open to all options surrounding the future leadership of the church.

Is this a positive thing?
It is important to emphasise that all involved in this process are really excited and positive about what God has for us as a church.
Are Trevor and Alison staying at Community Church?
Trevor and Alison are planning to stay at Community Church Huddersfield for the foreseeable future. Trevor will be stepping away from a leadership role. Alison will, after a short break, be part of the core leadership team.
What about the Branch?
Alison will remain as manager of The Branch and will have extra time to concentrate on leading it into the ever increasingly exciting opportunities that are opening for us.
Why Dan?
As part of the discernment process the leadership were open to who the new senior leader might be. However, it was always preferable that they were already a part of what God was doing in Huddersfield.

Dan has felt the call of God to church leadership for a while and, after much prayer and discussion, it was recognised that Dan was the right person to take on the role.

What will Trevor be doing?
Trevor is currently seeking God for the future but we believe he will continue to be used by God in his teaching and writing, looking to resource discipleship and help church leaders in whatever way God shows him.
Who will be leading Community Church Youth?

Alison will continue to lead the Community Church youth team. There will be a transition in the youth leadership but this has no time frame as yet.

How will this affect the Operations team?

Dan currently leads the operations team and will continue to do so during this year. As part of the transition year and planning for the future there will be a review of staffing requirements and roles. Once this has happened a recruitment process will take place where appropriate
