Diocesan Evangelists

Our vision is to have a Diocesan Evangelist in every parish. Could you be one of them? If you have a heart for sharing the Gospel, why not consider applying to the Diocesan Evangelist Training Course for 2025-26.

Training workers for a new harvest

This exciting course which runs over 2 years is open to adults of any age who have a heart for reaching others with the Gospel. In the past 10 years 41 people have completed the course with many going on into paid positions as evangelists, church planters and other ministry positions.

The course is facilitated by New Wine in partnership with Down and Dromore diocese. It was developed by Through Faith Missions with the aim of producing evangelists who combine a credible level of learning, with an ability to actually ‘do the work of an evangelist’. On average the commitment is 8 to 10 hours a week split between studying/ assignments and doing evangelism.

Theological study together with a practical portfolio is undertaken to successfully complete the course and this consists of 5 prescribed modules and an Evangelists Portfolio.

Cost

The total cost of the course is £1,980 and successful candidates will be awarded one third (£660) of this amount from the diocese. We encourage applicants to seek financial support from their local church towards the remaining amount.

Applying

Applications for the 2025-26 course are open until Monday 16 December 2024. To find out more, please download the course brochure AT THIS LINK.
