Lay Pioneer Training Taster
"Numbers are down, people come less often and we are running out of ideas, volunteers and young people - what have we got to lose!"
In changing and uncertain times there are huge challenges for all our churches - BUT there are also many opportunities and many people are open to faith like never before. Find out how to connect with the people who are searching but too shy to walk up the church path.
• Wondering how to connect with non-church goers in your village?
• Concerned that there are no young people in your church?
• Ready to try out something new - but don't know where to start?
• Want to meet others who have 'had a go'?
• Want to hear what churches have learned in lockdown about how to reach out?
This FREE Taster event for the Lay Pioneer Training Certificate Course is open to all churches and denominations. Why not check it out to see how it might benefit your church.
We are hoping to livestream the event as well as in-person training.
The evening will start with a simple meal of a Baked Potato at 7pm in the Church cafe.
If you want to bring along a friend or colleague too that would be wonderful.
Book your place on Eventbrite here.
