What is Discipleship and why it is important?

The discipleship team meets to support people attending our churches to learn, to grow and to increase their understanding of the Christian faith.

Members of the team are Magdalen Smith, Rachel Kinning, Una Lodge, Richard Ellis, Mark Simons, Deb Curnock, Trish Everett and Liz Blakey.

• Before Lent and Advent we plan activities that expand the themes chosen by the ministry team. For example, Power in the Presence was a Lent Course where we explored how we experience God's presence through prayer, music, art, stillness and the Psalms. Sacred Space was a monthly 'open space' where we explored different kinds of prayer, including a prayer walk around Highbury Park, Franciscan spirituality and prayer in the pub!
• We support the Book of the Term meetings and Moseley at the Movies.
• We have organised Quiet Days and run longer courses like Growing Leaders/Disciples.
• In collaboration with clergy we plan and deliver confirmation training.
• In the past we have encouraged the formation of home groups.
