Modular Training Taster Afternoon – Coventry

Reimagine Church – The ways of Jesus in mission and discipleship.

Are you grappling with busyness, struggling budgets and  high demand projects, but don’t feel they are being particularly effective in seeing lost people come to faith or in raising healthy and motivated disciples? Is the idea of growing communities of believers where discipleship is the air they breathe, mission the thing that gets them out of bed in the morning, and community the place where they find important extended family relationships a mere dream?

What if there was a way to equip your whole church to be effective in mission, discipleship, community and growing leaders?  We don’t have all the answers, but we’d love to share the principles and practices that we’ve learnt and that have blessed hundreds and hundreds of leaders across the UK.

Join us for a taster afternoon exploring our new whole church, easy access, quick win and low cost modular training starting in Coventry this autumn. Church leaders and their teams are welcome.

Learning Community Taster Day – COVENTRY

This is a Taster Day workshop for church leaders and their teams who are exploring a discipleship & mission Learning Community starting in the Autumn of 2017.

Booking details here www.growcentral.eventbrite.co.uk, or to be added to the Grow Central mailing list (the name of the Kx Coventry Hub) email [email protected]

A Learning Community Taster Day is a workshop designed to give a feel for what a full Learning Community is like.  You will be introduced to the basic structure of a Learning Community which is to aid reflection, learning, dreaming and planning for your church or community.

The three questions which are asked are:

• What Is? (an honest reflection of where things are right now)
• What Could Be? (an opportunity to dream big dreams with God about the future)
• What Will Be? (making concrete goals and plans to move towards the big dreams)

Many church teams have found this process to be incredibly valuable in moving towards embedding a culture of discipleship and mission in their contexts.

Kx Leaders Day Report

We gathered for a KX leaders day at the Bluecoat venue in Liverpool this week.

Right from the start it was obvious that this is an extended family with a big vision. The tone was relaxed and informal yet intense in its clear goals and prophetic vision, an amazing combination of urgency and refreshing companionship. From the corporate worship time to the end where we stood and cried out to God in intercession and prayer of our family of churches there was a real feeling of movement and seeking God for every step of His direction for us to impact this nation. We were small in number but large in our influence I felt.

Nic’s prophetic guidance on spiritual warfare was very timely and there was an apostolic weight to the call, I pray we heed it, pursue it and become intentional in all we do to model praying with passion and faith for a new generation and for taking new territory. I also feel the timing of what Ruth Perrin spoke on about the millennials and the opportunities with that generation was really where God wants us to be more intentional. The call from both Ruth and also Josh Cutting from FORM I felt was very much a call from God’s heart for this time. It simply must be on our prayer agenda, our time agenda, it must be built into our discipleship culture and our lives to coach, raise up and walk with that generation. Jesus himself chose most of his disciples from just that age range and it was clearly effective!

I came away with a greater sense of family, a clearer prophetic vision and the feeling that as a family of churches on a mission we are living in an amazing time with amazing opportunities. The day lifted my gaze, clarified my priorities and bonded me with a great group of friends all living our lives in the same direction – it doesn’t get much better than that for a leader.
