At Commission, we have a big vision to see thousands of lives transformed, through hundreds of churches, in tens of nations - so we’re going to need a lot of leaders! 

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.

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, which would bring differentiation from other expressions of Christianity in the wider Church Body.

We are currently reviewing this course to see how we can update and improve it! Applications for 24/25 are delayed until mid May. Please watch this space!
