The Discipleship Trainee Programme is a year long discipleship initiative at Wycliffe Church. Combining service in particular areas of church life, (e.g. media, children and youth, community projects, students), with an opportunity to grow in faith, gifting and character.

Working closely with staff members and other mature believers you’ll be guided, helped and equipped in a wide range of activities. Seeking to let you develop your gifts and step out of your comfort zone.

Participation in a Bible or theological training course plus time with both a mentor and a specific staff member are just part of our commitment to your growth and development.

This is a self-funding post through part-time work or raising personal support. The church will seek to provide accommodation with a church family, and subsidise food costs, travel expenses and course fees. Participation in the programme requires a minimum commitment of 22.5hrs per week starting September.

Open to Christians, of all ages, who wish to spend a year being very intentional about their service, growth, and development.

Apply now! Let’s see what God might be equipping you for.

Tom and Melissa Pollard write: This year we will be recording our second full-length album Army Rising live at Greyfriars Church, performing the full album on two separate nights, Friday 26th April and Saturday 27th April.

Army Rising continues exploring the themes of our first album, carrying a powerful message of hope and warning as the day of Jesus' return draws ever-nearer, while speaking deeply and tenderly into the struggles we face along the way. The title track prophesies to a rising generation of believers emerging victorious through trial to bring the light of Jesus to a dying world.
