Training Opportunities

Our team organises and hosts a wide range of training courses and events for volunteers, employed children’s and youth leaders, clergy, school chaplains and others.

We regularly run short six-week locally-accredited courses to provide an introduction to children’s ministry, youth ministry and school chaplaincy.

The courses are free and include resource materials.
