msm Cumbria and Lancashire – Penrith and Preston

You are invited to share a learning journey in a supportive community to be equipped for a lifetime of good practice and learning in growing fresh expressions of church.

Your local course

The Dioceses of Blackburn and Carlisle, the Lancashire and Cumbria Methodist Districts and the URC North Western Synod are delighted to make msm available locally. We believe it will be a significant resource for building the Kingdom of God in this area.

Individuals are most welcome, but we particularly hope that small groups from a church or fresh expression will come as this will deepen the impact of the course.

The course leader is Nick Moxon.

Recommendations

As the take up of fresh expressions of church increases we need to be developing the gifts of those pioneering the way. msm is set up to invest in new mission leaders. It is a positive pathway for any who desire to be better equipped for sharing Jesus Christ in today’s culture.

Rt Revd Geoff Pearson, Bishop of Lancaster

To be Church in the 21st century is exciting and challenging. The Church needs to be equipped to present the gospel message in a culture where she is seen by many as irrelevant. msm will help equip those (lay and ordained) who avail themselves of it and help God’s Church to move forward into the future. I warmly recommend it.

Revd Richard J Teal, Chair of the Cumbria Methodist District
