Ministry

Description

The Ministry training connection

Cultural shifts in the 21st century are bringing new challenges to the church and its mission. God is moving to revitalise the church and to create new kinds of ministry and mission to sub-cultures and global culture. Tabor's ministry training integrates: spiritual formation, intercultural approaches, practical fieldwork, pastoral care and church life; and growth to serve the needs of the church. Learn from active practitioners with a solid theological and ministry base and join in this journey of exploration and renewal.

Connect with the source of life through training that:

  • Engages with the present cultural needs and changes in church and society
  • Develops transparency and authenticity in future leaders
  • Explores the contextual life of the church
  • Emphasises spiritual formation
  • Generates maturity, character and life-balance for future ministry
  • Integrates cross-cultural, global and local mission and ministry concerns
  • Discovers church revitalization, transformation and growth.
