CMD Training Courses

Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD)

Over the past four years our diocesan team has been seeking to support church growth in our diocese. This has three important strands:

  1. Growth in depth: enabling our churches to deepen the faith of those who are part of our church communities so that their experience of God is rich and meaningful. 
  2. Growth in breadth: enabling churches to share their faith with others and make an impact upon their communities. We might describe this as evangelism: Christians sharing their faith with others.
  3. Growth in number: enabling churches to bring new people into the family of faith. This is about people encountering something of the hospitality of God in the life of church communities.

CMD training courses

Our discipleship team are looking at re-establishing regular Continuing Ministerial Development courses throughout the year.
