Rural Ministry Course

‘The most excellent course I’ve done in the church. Thank you so much for the information and, more importantly, the inspiration.’

‘As good as its reputation told us!’

‘Excellent – very challenging and thought provoking with lots of useful ideas for the future.’

The ARC has been organising Rural Ministry Training Courses for over 30 years, which continue to be as popular and well-received as ever.

They cover a wide range of issues regarding life in the countryside and the role and mission of the church within the rural community, including:

  • Today’s rural context
  • How context shapes ministry
  • Rural mission
  • Worship in context
The three day residential programme, organised in April/May and November, employs a variety of approaches which include: talks, practical sessions, group work and a choice of workshops covering specific areas of relevance. It is designed for lay and ordained ministers across the denominations who may be entering a rural appointment for the first time, or who may already be in rural ministry but feel the need for a ‘refresher’. It attracts those who are keen to examine the challenges and opportunities that this ministry environment offers.

Each course can accommodate up to 20 participants and early booking is advised because of heavy demand.
