Course Information
Character, Service and Mission: a balanced year
Character: Throughout the form year we will explore what it means for you to follow God in today’s world. This exploration will come in many ways: not just through formal teaching, but also through a variety of experiences and events. At form we use several different tools to help you to identify and affirm your strengths and also to challenge your weaknesses. Throughout the year our focus is to develop both character and skills, learning what it means to be become a disciple of Jesus.
Service: As a form trainee you will be welcomed into the family of St Johns Woodbridge and will have many opportunities to get involved in serving God through the church and within the community. There will be countless opportunities for you to play a role in whatever ministry you feel called to. We will also be involved in many outreach projects within the community, such as police projects, visiting schools, working alongside charities, visiting the elderly, soup-run in Ipswich and many more.
Mission: Mission is a core part of what form is about - you will have an opportunity to explore the many types of mission that Jesus calls us to and It is our hope that while engaging in mission you will be stretched in new ways and provided with a springboard for whatever God calls you to after form. You will also have the opportunity to travel abroad on Mission (in April 2010 form went to Uganda and in 2011 another wonderful opportunity of Mission abroad will be organised).
