msm Sheffield

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 Sheffield Methodist District and Anglican Diocese of Sheffield 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.

Course leaders are Mark Wigglesworth and Rachel McCallam. Teachers include Steven Croft, George Lings and Andrew Roberts.

Recommendations

mission shaped ministry is one of the very best ways to learn more about planting fresh expressions of church. It gives you the opportunity to learn and grow as a team, to catch a vision, to think through your priorities and to reflect as you move forward. Come yourself and bring your team. It's brilliant.

Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft, Bishop of Sheffield

Many in the wider church are now choosing to explore what beginning a fresh expression of church might mean in their context. This course is admirably suited to that purpose; it draws on both hard won established principles and recent examples from the field. It is also hoped course members will learn from each other and so best practice is refined and accessible. I commend it most warmly.
