Pastoring and planting churches in areas of deprivation require skills not ordinarily taught in seminary. That is why we at Medhurst help prepare our students for the realities of ministry in hard places. The subjects studied range from church polity and preaching to fundraising and working with addiction and are delivered through regional cohorts, online classes and one-to-one teaching.
Each cohort member will also receive visits from a pastoral coach who will maintain regular contact to work through ministry situations and the opportunity for each cohort member to attend the annual pastor’s retreat, family retreat and Weekender.
Medhurst Women is a 3-year rolling program of contextualised training and support for women ministering to women in areas of deprivation. Designed and delivered by experienced practitioners, Medhurst Women is a flexible, practical, and theologically robust training alternative for those considering or already ministering in deprived communities.
