Growing and Sustaining Pioneer Ministry
This three‑day (21 - 23 April) course is for pioneers and teams who are beyond the starting stage of their NPNP and now looking toward long‑term sustainability beyond initial visioning and early funding. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet others at a similar stage and hear from experienced pioneers who have shaped lasting, sustainable NPNPs.

Transforming Conflict in Pioneering Communities
If you’re navigating conflict, anticipating tensions, or wanting to strengthen your resilience and reflective leadership, we’d love you to join us for Transforming Conflict in Pioneering Communities this May. The pioneers who attended last years pilot all said what a rich and empowering time it had been.
Across the three days (05 - 07 May), we will:
Reflect on how our gifts and our wounds shape our pioneering ministry.
Explore how conflict can help communities become deeper, more resilient, and ever‑evolving.
Learn and practise practical tools for responding well when tensions rise.
If this would be valuable for you and your context, please contact Matt directly to book your place; finchm@methodistchurch.org.uk

Multiply Pioneer Mission
Celebrate stories of hope, explore theology that sustains, and share practical wisdom for mission at the edges.
