As previously mentioned (see here), a mission shaped ministry course in our diocese is set to begin in September.

The course is said to be for:

• Those exploring how to begin, sustain and grow a fresh expression of church
• Experienced pioneers who want to reflect on what they are doing
• Those wanting to learn qualities of Christian ministry
• Christians who want their churches to be more effective in mission
• All denominations, traditions and ages
• Urban, suburban and rural contexts.

Modules are set to include:

• Mission context
• The mission of God
• Vision, values and call
• Starting something new
• Listening for mission
• What is church?
• Gospel and culture
• Team roles and behaviour
• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Spirituality, worship and sacraments
• Growing to maturity.

Sessions will be held in Sleaford and Market Rasen, and further information, including booking details, are available here.
