msm Kent and South East

You are invited to share a learning journey in a supportive community to be equipped for a lifetime of good practice and learning in growing fresh expressions of church.

Your local course

The Rochester and Canterbury Dioceses, South East District of the MEthodist Church, URC, Baptist Church and Salvation Army are delighted to make msm available locally. We believe it will be a significant resource for building the Kingdom of God in this area.

Individuals are most welcome, but we particularly hope that small groups from a church will come as this may well deepen the impact of the course.

Recommendations

The mission shaped ministry course provides ordinary parishes with an excellent tool to help people to review the mission in their local situation and to discern where God might be calling them to engage with the many thousands of people who do not yet encounter the Christian faith.

It helps Christians to start up and develop further appropriate fresh expressions of church in their locality.

I highly commend this course, which is being delivered in partnership with other denominations. I encourage you to take the opportunities provided by this course: send people on it; attend yourself; discern where God's Spirit is working and join in.

Rt Rev Dr Brian Castle, Bishop of Tonbridge
