St Hild Specialist Tracks provide the opportunity to:
- Work towards the skills and wisdom to innovate, teach or write in your chosen field
- Join a community of people working in a similar context
- Receive mentoring and encouragement appropriate to your stage of ministry
- Achieve a Graduate Diploma, postgraduate award or MA, or complete a personalised programme of informal study
We currently offer specialisms in the following:
Church Planting
Are you passionate about planting and re-planting churches? Already involved in church planting and keen to develop the skills that will underpin an effective ministry? Then joining the Church Planting Track may be what you’re looking for.
Christian Spirituality
The St Hild Centre for Christian Spirituality offers opportunities to further your study of the Christian spiritual traditions.
A range of modules is available each year, which may be taken either as freestanding courses or as part of a pathway towards a Durham University award.
Mission on the Margins
Are you engaged in mission with, or feel that God may be calling you to work in, marginalised communities?
We know that God is found ‘in the margins’. While the energy of marginalised communities is often vibrant, ministering in these areas can be very challenging. Even those who already have training and skills in ministry may not be equipped to engage well in these contexts.
This track aims to provide the skills needed for those ministering in marginalised communities – to be a church that is present in places that have often been left behind.
Rural Ministry
This is a normal introduction to a standard content page. You can change the background colour but make sure you use white on 500 or 600, or black on 100 or 200
This intro should be around 4-10 lines long when you’re editing it on a large screen. That will ensure that the image is a good height.
