Growing Gifts is a programme of formation and training for those who are called within a local church to lead worship or preach on an occasional basis, locally authorised. Locally authorised ministry is based on a collaborative model of ministry and is therefore based on a community discernment as well as an individual sense of calling. If you have not yet spoken with your Incumbent, or someone in the Ministry Team, but think that this might be for you, then do get in touch with them and arrange to explore with them what God might be saying to you.

Growing Gifts: Facilitators

The aim of the Growing Gifts: Enablers programme is to form a Learning Community which will give participants an opportunity to reflect on their experience as Readers as teachers of faith, enablers of mission and leaders in Church and society, and to prepare as a team to lead Growing Gifts, a new programme of training and formation for leading worship or preaching on an occasional basis.
