This Learning Resource introduces Vocations Advisers and Assistant DDOs to the core concepts of pioneering and how to discern a pioneer calling. As it is specific to vocations processes and those who participate in them, it is not an open-access resource, but some of its content, or adapted versions, will be included in forthcoming content on fresh expressions of church.

Ministry Discernment Groups take place in person for people exploring a vocation to some form of recognised ministry in the Diocese of Ely. The groups happen over four sessions in person. This page contains the resources participants need to support their learning.

The creation of this new resource for the Diocese has been specially commissioned. It is for people in parishes preparing for confirmation. Each session starts with one of the Bishop's questions at a Confirmation service and combines prayer, video clips, Bible study and questions for reflection. The six sessions are suitable for group or solo learning, with specific instructions for each.

Generously shared with us by the Diocese of Sheffield, this learning resource is a helpful complement to in-person training for new churchwardens with lots of helpful information about how you get to be a warden and what the role involves. If you are not yet a churchwardens but would like to use the toolkit as part of your discernment about whether to take on the role, get in touch and ask us for the enrolment key.

The Preparing to Study Theology, Mission and Ministry Learning Resource has been created to help those about to embark on training for Licensed Lay Minister (LLM) training. Our training partner, the Eastern Region Ministry Course (ERMC), delivers the two-year LLM course, but Preparing to Study is a briefer programme to help people step into a new mode of learning and thinking.
