The aims of the Foundations in Christian Ministry course are:
- to deepen your Christian discipleship
- to explore and help form your gifts for ministry
- to help you discern God’s call for the next step in your journey with Him
- and to provide you with a foundation for further training in lay ministry.
Course objectives
By the end of the Foundations course you will:
- have been introduced to the major elements of Biblical studies and Christian doctrine (at a level just short of the first stage of a degree)
- have encountered a range of forms of prayer and expressions of Christian spirituality
- have been introduced to the principles of pastoral care
- be equipped with skills to aid your involvement in God’s ministry and mission
- have developed basic skills of personal journaling and reflection
- have explored your vocation, with guidance, and talked with a range of other people.
Study days
- These are the core of the course. They run on Saturdays from 9.30am to 4.45pm.
- Each day includes a mix of informal lectures and group discussions on the Bible, Theology, Spirituality, Mission and Pastoral Care, set within a context of worship, with time to socialise.
