Train as a Diocesan Evangelist – closing Friday
Down and Dromore is a missional diocese and we are seeking workers for a new harvest. We are currently training 12 Diocesan Evangelists through a 2 year course and this autumn we will be holding interviews for a new intake of students.
The closing date for applications is Friday 30 October 2015.
The course in brief
The course is distance learning based and accredited by St John’s College, Nottingham, with the practical elements facilitated by ‘Through Faith Missions’. It is taken over a 2 year period and will require 8–10 hours work per week as well as a number of training weekends.
Who can apply?
We invite applications from adults of any age within the diocese who have a desire to share the gospel. Candidates will require a willingness to learn and a commitment to work hard!
Finance
The course costs £2,496 per person and half of this amount will be met by the Diocese. It is anticipated that the other half will be shared between the individual and their parish.
How to apply
When applying candidates are required to submit:
A reference from their rector
Details of 2 referees
An outline of their experience and background in ministering to others
A copy of their current CV
Please email the above to Mary Coles in Bishop Harold Miller’s office.
The deadline for applications and receipt of the requested information is Friday 30 October 2015
Interviews will be held in early November 2015 and successful candidates will commence the course in January 2016. The diocese will attempt to help find concurrent voluntary or paid placements for evangelists in the diocese of Down and Dromore.
