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 Diocese of Gloucester, Gloucestershire Methodist Church, West of England Baptist Association, United Reformed Church and South West Midlands Area of the Congregational Federation 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 leaders and teachers include Cate Williams, Liam McKenna, Andrew Roberts and Pauline Godfrey.

Recommendations
This course was extremely helpful and engaging, the quality of both the teaching and the materials was extremely high, it will prove very helpful over time for engaging with the ever-changing culture in which the church and individual Christians now find themselves inhabiting.
Rev Ian Fowler, Minister, Bourton-on-the-Water Baptist Church
The most helpful elements were exploring in depth the broad range of issues and complexities involved with a Fresh Expression and having a good learning community in which to do this and be open and honest.
