• We envisage that people will come as individuals and as teams. 
• We hope that many will begin the course as they are preparing to embark on a fresh expression of church, but that others would come at a later or earlier stage in these ministries. 
• We hope that many clergy will take part in the course (as these elements have not traditionally been part of clergy training) alongside many lay people.

Responses to the course have been hugely positive. One Church of England Reader said:
'It is no exaggeration to say that this course is the best course I have attended since I was licensed, and is a course I have been crying out for for a number of years!

A clergyman said:
'I nearly didn't sign up for the Fresh Expressions one year course because I thought I would have, heard it all before. The cost and the time commitment were also an issue, but I'm very glad I have done it as it has given me a lot of fresh thinking . If we are going to have a church in the 21st century  it is important that church leaders set a lead by learning themselves. The teaching was excellent and, of course, you learnt as much from other participants from other churches and other denominations. Don't miss it as I nearly did.'
