Ministry Training Appeal
Your giving helps to train up and send out from Christ Church St Ives people who know the gospel and love Jesus with clarity, competence, conviction and Christ-like character.
We train people for ministry in formal and informal ways. Two key formal training structures we are seeking to fund through this appeal are MTS Apprenticeships and Student Ministry.
Ministry Training Fund
Our goal
7 trainees each year
We want to have a trainee (MTS or Student Minister) being trained by each full-time member of the ministry staff. That’s 7 people each year and a myriad of different training opportunities. We want to be intentionally gathering and guiding lots of people of all ages in their thinking about full time ministry in the context of parish ministry.
How much
$100,000 this year
This is to support our current MTS apprentices and Student Ministers. We are asking you to give in addition to your regular giving to support this strategic project that seeks to train up and send out from Christ Church St Ives people who know the gospel and love Jesus with clarity, competence, conviction and Christ-like character.
