Real life stories from leaders and other participants have…helped me evaluate my context and given me fresh energy to persist and to try new things. Being able to do this alongside several other people from my church has been a blessing.. I would encourage teams from churches to go on this journey. God has spoken through it and give[n] us a common language and purpose for stepping out in faith with Him in the future.
Revd Nick Heaton, North & West Yorkshire Course Participant 2019
In response to [what we have learned] we have: introduced Messy Church as an alternative to the [dwindling] ‘Breakfast with God’ we’d run for five years, taken over the secular babies and toddler group … and brought to it half termly worship, opened a community cafe ..as an ecumenical project …with support from the village Coop and…the Joseph Rank Trust to tackle rural loneliness.
Sam Mauer, North & West Yorkshire Course Participant 2019
The greatest benefit of the course is its practical side and the chance to talk through issues relevant to your situation.
Leanne Corlett, course participant
The next big step in taking fresh expressions of church forward is making the right kind of training available in everypart of the country. msm is making a major contribution here and I’m delighted to commend it.
Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury 2002-12
Stuart Bell, Leader, Ground Level
I wholeheartedly recommend this course, designed to equip all God’s people to establish authentic and effective Church for this and future generations.
More and more Christians are being led by God to plant, sustain and lead fresh expressions of church. The course is a crucial means by which the Holy Spirit is preparing them for this calling. Go for it!
Martyn Atkins, Former UK Methodist General Secretary
