Pioneer Intensive follows a similar format to CPL's Pioneer School, but packs it in to a single week, for those unable to attend the usual six Saturdays.
Pioneer School is a 6-day course specifically designed by CPL for practising pioneers, Pioneer Intensive is packs similar material into a single week. Each day is structured with input and discussion in the morning followed by small, peer-led groups in the afternoon. These small 'hub' groups offer a space to process the morning's input, share stories and pray for one another. Numbers are deliberately kept small to enable individual pioneers great space to explore topics and questions that directly relate to their contexts.
The course covers issues that speak directly into the day-to-day business of pioneering within Christian community. The ethos is very much based on learning together, listening to God's Spirit in our own lives and the context within which we are placed and encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit. this happens in an environment that begins and ends with worship.
Each session is led by an experienced leader who will procide input, but also use a variety of styles to enable practitioners to address and discuss theological and practical questions that are relevant to their own specific contexts and pioneering in general.
Speakers for this year include Dave Male, Mike Moynagh and Clare Watkins.
