Ongoing training and development are central to the way we care for all who lead and minister our churches, parishes, schools and communities. We seek to provide support and opportunities to grow in discipleship and ministry. These pages cover information for clergy, including links to wellbeing, counselling and ministerial development opportunities, coaching and mentoring programmes as well as information about how to grow your church. There are also details about vocational pathways and training for those serving in other licensed lay roles such as Readers, Local Worship Leaders and Children’s and Youth Ministry.
