BUC Evangelism Training, 26th July - 1st August

STOP PRESS! PRICE REDUCTION: The cost for this event is now £130 instead of £220. Book Now!
For those interested in inclusive Evangelism this is the 2nd year that the BUC will offer one course that will help members to grow spiritually, to understand how to nurture other members and how to move a little closer to a discipled member of the Church model. This programme is designed to help members understand some of the multidisciplines in Evangelism and will focus on discipleship and holistic small groups, while engaging them to function efficiently in their local area.
 
Book online now or contact the BUC Personal Ministries Department on 01923 672 251. 
 
Special Offer:  If your Church registers three or more people there will be a £10.00 subsidy per person up to a maximum of five persons per church.  The idea behind this is to have a base support group in each church to help implement some of the strategies that will be taught over the week.
