Training

Workshops

Church training provides understanding about, motivation for and skills in Christian ministry. I seek to utilise a range of ways in which people can learn effectively to provide an experience that is both memorable and enjoyable.

Workshops can often be conducted in a more general context than consultancy, so groups can benefit from a single event. I only run workshops at the request of a client. Most take one day but some last half a day and others two to three days.

I am available to run any event, from one evening to a residential conference, for individual churches, local groups, clergy groups (eg. CMD), Bible and theological colleges, and staff of mission agencies.
 

Writing

I also offer training through writing. This lacks the impact of a workshop but can be available to a much wider group. I have prepared validated distance learning course modules for three clients and until recently wrote regular articles for one specialist magazine. I also add new material to this website every other month (covered in the Resources section of this site).
 

Benefits

I seek to offer in workshops and in writing:

• wide experience and understanding of church and other Christian work
• a creative mind willing to explore new ideas
• an ability to communicate clearly on practical issues
• an infectious enthusiasm for my subject.

THEMES OF THE MOMENT

Training opportunities have been cut back since Covid but the events I am running include the themes of mission-shaped PCCs, church vision, working with volunteers, different aspects of self-management, and handling stress in ministry.
