Manchester City Mission offer a number of courses for churches that are looking to develop their evangelistic skills or are wanting to prepare for mission:
- 'Share Jesus Without Fear' is a four week personal evangelism course that teaches how to share your faith in a clear and simple way - without getting into all kinds of difficult debates and arguements! A perfect course for the church that wants to equip it's congregation to obey the great commission at a personal level.
- 'ICP Value Led Mission' uses the three primary mission values of Incarnation, Compassion and Proclamation which make a solid mission strategy for the local church. Originally designed as a one day seminar for evangelists, the course can also be broken up into several modules to fit in to the churches weekly schedule. A thought provoking and challenging course that is helpful for any church preparing for mission.
- The 3Dimensional Church is a popular course that is perfect for the church that is looking to achieve balance in the three primary spheres of activity in which the church is called to serve. Perfect for a church weekend, this teaching shows how loving God, loving each other and loving the lost are the inseperable "primary colours" that make up the picture of New Testament church life.
- Managing Change. All churches and mission organisations have to face change. Unfortunately, not all know how to handle change well. In this series of seminars, Terry Durose shares form his experiences of managing periods of organisational change and offers a three stage Biblical framework for moving from where you are as a church now - to where God wants you to be.
Terry and Janet Durose have had a busy twelve months delivering evangelism training to churches around Greater Manchester. “There is a real hunger to know how to share our faith” said Director Terry Durose. “The challenge is to know how to share our faith in ways that genuinely get the message home.” As part of a recent Share Jesus Without Fear course the group were challenged to put into practice what they had learned that week. The following week one man reported that he had led his wife and his father to faith. The next week the same man reported that he had led his brother to Christ!
Terry Durose and the project team would be delighted to discuss any of this training material with church leaders and are willing to help any church with their plans for mission.
We do not charge for these services, but, to help churches who wish to cover our expenses, we will always provide church leaders with details of what it costs to run each course.
