Ministry Development YEAR
What is the Ministry Development Year (MDY)?
The MDY is a ten month programme designed to help individuals develop their professional, ministerial and leadership skills through theological training and practical church ministry experience.
We will encourage you to choose a stream to focus your practical church ministry experience around and you will be able to join either Emmanuel College or M:Power for your theological training.
What are the streams?
-
We love our kids and long to see them encounter Jesus and grow as disciples. We run amazing groups on Sundays and much more. If you want to invest in the hearts and minds of the young then this is for you.
