'Prepared to Serve' is a course that operates in a small group setting on Wednesday nights. The aim of the course is to take a year to encourage, equip and enable people for gospel service within our church, parish and beyond. It is a chance to grow as servants (ministers) of Jesus Christ, of the gospel and of each other.

Much of the course will be focussed on getting to grips with the Bible as a whole and understanding God's unfolding plan by tracing the story line of scripture. We do this both chronologically and by tracing two important themes. Having this 'big picture' enables you to see how you can play your part in God's plan for the world with the gifts and skills and talents he has given you. It will also give you greater confidence in handling the Bible and being able to apply it to your own situation - something which is practiced together throughout the course. The fundamental conviction behind the course is that the church is led, and Christians grow, by being taught God's word.

If this course is something that you feel you would like to participate in in future years, please talk to Philip de Grey-Warter to discuss the matter.
