Are you passionate about seeing the lives of children, the children within your community, transformed as they discover Jesus and become His followers? Arise Ministries are excited and driven by a desire to work with and through the local church, equipping the church to reach a generation.

Arise Ministries are running a day conference at Sandy Baptist Church, Bedfordshire on Saturday 24 March 2012 where they will be exploring how we can reach and release children with the Gospel and also help them grow as disciples of Jesus. There will be lots of opportunities to share thoughts and ideas with the group, as well as breaks to enable networking with others attending.

More information can be found on the Arise Ministries website: www.ariseministries.org.uk/support.htm.

Core Leaders Training for Deacons and Elders

EBA Events

In Partnership with Spurgeons College, South Eastern Baptist Association and London Baptist Association, the EBA have been involved in developing a course for core leaders in Baptist Churches. Core leaders would normally be deacons, elders and others on your leadership teams.

The course covers six themes, designed to equip present and potential leaders in Baptist congregations.

Subjects will include:

the nature of leadership; spiritual life; working together; decision making; mission; pastoral care and Trusteeship.

Certificates will be awarded by Spurgeons/EBA for those who complete the course.

We will be running “Core Leaders Training” at Chase Cross Baptist Church. 83 Chase Cross Road, Collier Row, Essex. RM5 3PL over three Saturdays: 17th March, 14th April and 26th May, from 9.30 am to 3.00 pm.

Christianity: I thought it would be more exciting than this! Put the adventure back into following Jesus.

At times our faith might feel dynamic but if we are honest it often feels quite dull and predictable. Is this what Jesus intended? How can we rediscover the adventure we first felt called on?
