Episode 5: Ministry Roadmaps with Darren Middleton

Ministry Roadmaps is a podcast from Cliff College, where we hear stories from some of our former students and find out what insights they have to share about their ministries and the communities they serve. In this episode, you'll hear from Principal Ashley Cooper, Student Welfare Manager Ali Mackenzie, BA student Ali Alexander and our guest, Darren Middleton. Darren was brought up in Barnsley and worked as a professional dancer in the West End as well as film and television before studying at Cliff from 2005-2007. He then candidated for Methodist ministry and was stationed in Wales for a number of years, during which time he completed an MA in Theology. In 2013 he joined the Royal Army Chaplains Department and was deployed to Sierra Leone in 2015, serving as part of the military response to the ebola crisis. He re-entered circuit ministry in 2019 and is involved in pioneering a NPNP project called REV7, a community hair salon in Plymouth.
