Introducing Church Leadership Training
An important subject for many students is what to do in their gap year between college and university, or sometimes the year after graduation (which many students take now as their “gap year”). While travel is the usual pick, there are further options to deliberate over, like voluntary work, or even to plunge yourself into church leadership training for 11 months with the organization DNA (dna-uk.org). This article looks in greater detail this particular alternative.
DNA provide placements in Christian churches, running from October to August. This is seen as a “year in with God, not a year out.”, requiring the enrollee to dwell in a Christian environment – either in your own church if you currently belong to one, or an assigned church if you’re not currently a fellow member of a church. Your typical day will require assisting with the day to day projects of the church, and to be schooled by its members in bible studies. The course ensures faith in action, so those who sign up can expect a really practical experience of Christian faith, and not merely the study of it.
More selling points of the courses include:-
- being challenging, refreshing and life altering
- serving 18 year olds upwards, as there’s no age limit
- it’s practical; what you’ll study is what you’ll actually do
- outfitting you for church based leadership
- your growth in understanding, character and skills
- offering an accredited programme through the National Open College Network
There are 3 types of course open : Track 1 is the most popular access point to DNA – it is the fullest DNA expereince. The overwhelming majority of people select this as the best pick for them. Track 2 is more acceptable to you if taking a complete gap year is not practically achievable. This could be for issues like your workplace or family commitments. Track 2 therefore proffers some tractability. Track 3 provides people the opportunity of joining us for as many particular training sessions or days as they wish.
