10 months - 1 year of training, mentoring and participation in VCJF (Vibrant Communities of Jesus Followers) ministry

Join experienced workers for practical training in small group church planting principles to allow all people to be engaged in practical ways of fulfilling the great commission of ‘making disciples’ among the nations and seeing the UK as a mission field.

This immersion programme is designed to help those who have a sense of calling to Disciple Making Ministry (in whatever situation) take the next steps by applying universal biblical principles of Disciple Making in ‘on the job training’ in an apprenticeship type situation.

It combines formal classroom training with trainee placements. Participants will be mentored by experienced practitioners, with a typical schedule of one week of classroom formation followed by three weeks of placement. This hands-on experience in VCJF ministry ensures trainees are both trained as well as see God use them to fulfil the training aims.
