What our students say about Form
"I have to say that my Form experience has been hugely positive. Learning more about my journey with God with other people (from a wide variety of different backgrounds and experiences) has taught me that God works in us in infinite ways. The variety and styles of teaching are first class and the opportunity to ask questions/discuss your thoughts in a relaxed and confidential environment is not to be underestimated. I have found Form a great way to start my working week (after Church on a Sunday). What am I going to do when the year is finished?!"
David Daniels – Form Plus Student 10-11
"I applied to join FORM+ because I wanted to go deeper with the Bible and learn some theology and history of the Christian church, as well as to come closer to God. I've appreciated the well-planned teaching (really riveting), the enjoyable creativity sessions, and the more demanding personal development and discipleship strands. The other FORMers are really great too. It has certainly been a challenge to me in many ways, but I'm so glad I did it."
Carol Cory – Form Plus Student 10-11
“I have for the first time in my Christian walk, so far, gained a real hunger for God's word. It is a marvellous feeling and it has been, I think, as a direct result of my attendance to FORM PLUS. God has led me here and I am thankful that even though I can be a reluctant follower God is an enthusiastic leader. I am aware that God is closer than I thought. I am extremely grateful that whilst I stumble, wander far from the intended way and pull against the wishes of God He continues to get me back on track. Through FORM God appears to be preparing for launch and the sessions appear to be something of a launch pad. It is very exciting”
Claire Ling – Form Plus Student 10-11
“I have really grown as a Christian since being on the Form course. I have gained a deeper understanding of God and what it means to be a Christian in today’s world. Form has given me a new hope in my spiritual growth and inspired me to always seek a deeper relationship with our everlasting God”
Helen Skeet – Form Plus Student 10-11
“FORM is all about giving God time and space to work in our lives. For me that's in the outreach work where I've found myself doing things I'd never done before and having to take a leap of faith and depend totally on God; and each time I did He'd always be there!”
David Pawson – Form Gap Year Student 10-11
“For me Form has given me a rare opportunity to feed a hunger for growth in the knowledge and love of God. As a Mum, part-time worker and someone who has difficulty getting out in the evenings Form Plus has been brilliant, as it fits in school hours and is term-time only. There is no home-work, so the pressure is off but I would say that personally I simply want to study so do it anyway! The speakers are incredible and it is such an opportunity to ask those questions that you assume others think you should know! I have also really appreciated the group discussions that have taken place - again another opportunity to grow in knowledge. I would say to anyone considering the course, there is simply nothing to regret”
Sophie Charlton – Form Plus Student 10-11
"My Form Gap year was amazing. Form has given me the opportunity to dip my feet into many different areas of ministry to find the one God is calling me to. Through Form, I have been offered the chance to be a student youth worker, to follow my passion to serve God through working with the youth of Suffolk, showing them God's amazing love"
Helen Rochead - Form Gap Year Student 10-11
"I have enjoyed studying again with a great group of people who wanted to study the Bible too"
Michele Williams - Form Plus Student 10/11
" I made a late decision to join the FORM Plus course. I had been considering it but it wasn't until the day before the first meeting that I knew I was supposed to be on it. I'm so pleased there was a place left for me! I knew that I wanted to study the Bible - to learn about its history and put it into context. We have had excellent speakers who have opened it up to us in so many ways. We have also had in-depth sessions on subjects such as: the Creeds, the End Times, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Warfare, the Reformation, World Religion, Christianity and Science. Throughout the course we have been learning about discipleship and considering where God wants us to use our skills and attributes for his glory. We have had wonderful opportunities for discussion, sharing, worship and prayer. The year has sped by so quickly, when it is over I shall miss FORM+ -and those lovely lunches!"
Elaine Mayhew - FORM Plus Student 10/11
Form+ has been a part of my spiritual journey this past year and has encouraged me to dig deeper into God's Word and spend more time in His presence.I look forward to what God has in store next as I continue on the journey.
