Training

We see training and equipping as a very important part of what we do, not least because Ephesians 4.12 talks about “equipping God’s people for works of service” as a key part of the function of Ephesians 4 leadership. We offer a range of training, seeking to equip everyone in the church for what God has called them to do. As a family of churches we see much of our training delivered in the local church or in the regions. Regional teams provide support to local leaders to ensure high quality training across a range of areas. Some more specialist training is delivered at a national or continental level.

UK Training

Training in the UK seeks to serve the 2020vision of producing 300 leaders by 2020. These leaders need to be trained in content (i.e. theology), character and competency (leadership skills). A new distance learning theological school, King's School of Theology has been developed to complement the provision through KTC and a leadership training course has also been devised that can be run by the regions.

Gateway Ministries Training

As a movement of churches, we believe that Christians should be consistently growing in their faith and walk with God. To help with this, we have put together resources that will nurture this journey.

• For people wanting to find out more about the Christian faith, we suggest they go on our Foundation Course.
• For those who are regular members of a GMI church, we run, what we call, a ‘Discovering my Ministry’ course. This one-off afternoon session will help you look at areas in the life of the church, where your skills and talents could be used. We encourage all our members to serve and function in an area of church life.
• We have further courses to help raise up and train leaders who seek to shoulder responsibilities for our growing churches.
• The Antioch Training Centre (ATC) is a nine-month, intensive Bible college course that is committed to the holistic growth and development of men and women by discipleship.
