May 2022 - led by nic harding

We welcomed back Nic Harding to give input at our Learning Community where he spoke on “Turning missional energy into communities of disciples.”

Nic is one of the founding pastors of Frontline church, Liverpool and is the leader of Kairos Connexion - the network we're part of that is all about raising missionary disciples - https://kairosconnexion.org

Our time started on the Friday with "what is" by sharing testimonies of what God is doing in and through our communities. It then continued with an exercise addressing these two provocative questions from Dallas Willard: What is your plan for making disciples? Is it working?

On the Saturday Nic led us through "what could be" and our planning session "what will be" with sessions on Building community, Discipleship content, Discipleship framework and Discipleship carriers. It was an excellent time of learning and planning for the year ahead.

Here’s a PDF of Nic’s powerpoint

Handout for the Friday evening

OCTOBER 2021 - LED BY MICK WOODHEAD

Listen back to Mick’s teaching on Prayer, Discipleship and mission from our October Learning Community. Mick left us with the challenge to think of 3 achievable goals and 1 project for our communities.

Mick is the former senior leader at STC Sheffield (St Thomas Crookes). He is married to Tricia and under their twenty year leadership, STC saw significant growth through the development of the 'Cluster & Cell' movement with many hundreds of adults, teenagers and children meeting with Jesus and growing in their faith through these 'missional communities'. Mick & Tricia have three married children and six grandchildren - they are fast becoming professional babysitters! They love seeing people embrace their destiny as disciples of Jesus as they live his 24/7, naturally supernatural 'Better Life'.

OCTOBER 2020 - Led By John McGinley

At our recent Barnabas Communities’ Learning Community we heard some great teaching from John McGinley. Listen again to this input to hear John’s take on how we can share our faith.
