Training for Leadership and Ministry (TLM) is our core programme for equipping and coaching all-new and emerging leaders in our church family. This is a training programme and not simply a ‘taught’ course. Our hope is that all who complete TLM will receive the necessary skills and knowledge to share the Biblical values of Commission, and to carry the vision we have as a church family. As opposed to the emphasis of Level 1 (Theology for Life) which covers doctrine core to all Evangelical Christianity, at Level 2 we are focussing upon areas of theology and leadership distinct to Commission.
This two-part course will consist of a morning leadership workshop where students share assignment work together and afternoon sessions with guest speakers from across the Commission Family of Churches. This unique approach will give students the opportunity to have a practical incubator to develop their own ministry plans, discipleship relationships and learn from their peers in the morning Leadership workshops. There will be several projects that will allow students to present their creativity and ministry visions.
This course aims to do more than simply ‘teach’ on the practices and theologies that make us distinct as a family of churches, but also to ‘train’ you as you seek to equip and lead others.
