Apply for FORGE: Leaders in Training

There's still time to apply to join the second intake of Forge: Leaders in Training. The programme seeks to grow the faith and skills of young leaders who volunteer regularly in youth and/or children’s ministry and is aimed at young adults aged 17–22.

Forge: L.I.T. is designed to grow ministry leadership in a flexible way to complement your study/work and ongoing church involvement.  It offers a training bursary, extended placement, discipleship and an overseas mission team in summer 2025 - all at a level designed not to get in the way of existing commitments.

The programme will begin in November 2024 and finish in July 2025 with an overseas mission trip to Hungary.

Who can apply?

The programme is open to all young adults in the diocese aged 17–22 who are currently helping in leadership in a parish church or ministry in Down and Dromore. Spaces are awarded after application and an informal interview.

How much will it cost?

There is a small cost to each applicant of £30. We provide a bursary towards the overseas mission trip and anticipate that the cost to participants will be approximately £100 per person.

How do I apply?

To apply please complete an application form which can be found at THIS LINK. Applications close on Thursday 17 October 2024.

If you have further questions please email our FORGE Coordinator Janine Armstrong: janine@downanddromore.org
