Pathways offers fresh ways of learning for those who want to grow as disciples and opens new paths to fruitful lay and ordained leadership.
Learning within pathways combines the experience of working with a mentor with a wide range of learning opportunities (in person and online) accessible via the pathways learning platform (PLP).

Alternatively, if you are in an oversight ministry leadership role, or about to transition into a new leadership role, then you may want to meet with a trained coach to gain some insights and move forward in your thinking about your leadership.
We also offer the opportunity to become a mentor or coach yourself; enabling you to grow committed disciples who will in turn grow others. On our coaching pathway you will learn the skills and confidence to have more transformational conversations; learning the least you need to know to have deep and simple conversations.
