School of Ministry

An opportunity to explore together what it means to be a 'resourceful' person for God and His Church. It aims to:

  • foster a sense of God's call
  • train Readers and Pastoral Ministers (BCPM)
  • work with the Yorkshire Ministry Course (YMC)
  • provide 'Education for Discipleship'
  • relate study to practice

If you are hoping to deepen your own personal faith and understanding, or wanting to train for an authorised ministry, or explore your own calling, this could be for you! Sessions are held once a month on Sundays at the Mirfield Centre, starting in September of each year. Some evening sessions are involved also.

The Director of the Wakefield School of Ministry is Revd Canon Dr John Lawson. For more information contact Rachael Salmon, Administrator for Training & Learning: 01924 481916 or rsalmon@mirfield.org.uk or go to www.wakefield.anglican.org/training to find out more.

Many Dioceses now run Schools of Ministry. It is worth checking with your own Diocese if such a scheme is available. Other Dioceses websites are listed in the Other Links section of this website.

DIRECTIONS

By Car
The easiest way to get to the Centre is to come off the M62 at junction 25. Follow the signs towards Mirfield. You'll invariably come to a queue of traffic at Cooper Bridge Roundabout. Fork left and follow the signs towards Leeds. Take the first right after the Little Chef (Stocks Bank Road - Signed to Battyeford and CR House). We're about a mile down this road on your right.

Please note – the entrance to the Centre is marked by a brown ladder sign (to the right as you go down the hill, see picture). Please do not use the Community Retreat House entrance.
