The St Helen's Associate Scheme is an apprenticeship programme designed to train full-time Bible teachers, whether church leaders, student or youth workers etc.
As a church, we are committed to the glory of God and the advance of his kingdom, and we believe that godly leaders are key to this.
The aim of the Associate Scheme is to develop the next generation of godly leaders who will serve Jesus and the gospel.
The scheme is divided into three parts: ministry, training and practical tasks around the church.
The Ministry Opportunities
One of the best ways to learn how to do Christian ministry is actually to do it, and therefore half of the Associates' time is spent involved in Christian ministry.
Depending on their maturity and previous experience, this could be in anything from working with students in a particular university, to helping run a lunchtime ministry in part of the City.
Associates will receive support, training and feedback from those with more experience, and each Associate will be individually mentored by a member of staff.
The Training Programme
To be a good Bible teacher, it is essential to learn how to listen carefully to what God is saying in his Word, so this is what we focus on in our training.
We want Associates to leave having learned how to study the Bible on its own terms, not simply having gained more knowledge of it.
Associates are thereby equipped for a lifetime of feeding both themselves and those they minister to.
