Learning Opportunities
East Anglia District, as part of our developing youth strategy, offers funding for any youth worker, or children's and families worker, who would like to go on the Cliff College training course 'Foundations: Exploring Children, Youth and Family Ministry'
This is an online unit taken over 15 weeks, using Cliff College's online learning platform with learning elements including written content, short videos, discussion boards and online exercises. The first and last sessions are live seminars which you will need to attend either online or onsite at Cliff College. If you'd like to attend them onsite at Cliff College we'd encourage you to do that and your travel expenses will be covered by the DIstrict.
Please see this link for more information - https://www.cliffcollege.ac.uk/courses/foundations-units/foundations-cyf-ministry
And if you'd like to book a place on the course please contact District Mission Enabler Yasmin - click here to contact Yasmin.
As we journey together in Christ we find that we meet challenges and opportunities along the way. Our journey can take us in a number of different directions, sometimes we can feel fully equipped for all that lies ahead and at other times we can sense a need for equipping.
Training & Development is an essential part of equipping the whole people of God in their journeys together.
