Your local course
The Methodist, Anglican and United Reformed Churches in North London 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 or fresh expression will come as this will deepen the impact of the course.
The course leaders are Richard Armiger, Andy Dart, Tim Swindell and Ann-Marie Wilson. Course teachers include Andrew Roberts, Martyn Atkins and John Coles.

Recommendations
Church life in London is too fluid and diverse for labels like 'fresh' or 'traditional' - but it all needs to be mission-shaped! I welcome the opportunities offered by this course to explore what that might mean in different contexts.
Stuart Jordan, Co-chair, London Methodist District
If 97% of the nation is not in church every week it's either because they are not interested in spiritual things, or because 'church' is not sufficiently interesting or interested in them. If the nation is to be changed the church must change its way of communicating the good news of Jesus. This course has already helped many to reconnect with God's heart for the nation, and to find new ways of helping church to find new ways of reaching the 97%. I thoroughly recommend it. But be warned, it might change your life as well as your view of church.
