Foundations
Foundations is the introductory course for everyone in the Diocese of Exeter who is exploring their vocation (both lay and ordained). The course is designed to help people grow in their discipleship, and flourish as part of the Church. It is the foundational course to train as a Licensed Lay Minister (Reader), for ordination training or to train for one of the new Commissioned roles. It is run by the Diocese of Exeter as part of our commitment to lifelong learning and development for all, and is open to everyone who is a member of a church community.
The topics covered are: Theology, The Bible, Spirituality and Ministry. The Foundations course is a mixture of in person and online teaching. There will be several intakes a year and it will run in different locations to make it as accessible as possible for a wide range of people across Devon. If you apply to do the course in 2024/5, you will be invited to join one of the three regional groups, in the following locations:
- Plymouth (St Jude’s Church) running from October 2024 to March 2025
- North Devon (location tbc) running from January to May 2025
- Exeter (location tbc) running from January to May 2025
