form is a year of transformation
At its heart form is about being disciples & making disciples. It has its home at St Thomas’ Church Philadelphia & The King’s Centre, Sheffield (Anglican / Baptist / Free Church), and there is also a Form centre based at St John's Church Westwood, Coventry.
We live in incredibly complicated times; we are coping with a high level of disruption & uncertainty about our lives, our values & our future. In times like these it is so easy to allow ourselves to be conformed, battered into submission by the forces of culture & the world. form is committed to helping us resist this, & making space for God to transform us as a loving Father. As we do this we become people who are in a position to bring change to our communities & the people around us.
The year is about being ‘formed’ – that means you’re shaped, fashioned & moulded into someone who more fully represents Christ to the world. The year is about God setting the foundation in your life you need so that you can continue to grow as a disciple & become everything it is that God made you to be. It is about you working with God, asking him who you are going to be, and it is about equipping –giving you the practical tools you need to live life wholeheartedly in and for the Kingdom of God.
There are three streams to form training:
- Form 1 is our year of discipleship for young adults and the usual starting point for most people wanting to get involved in the training.
- Form 2 (Sheffield only) is a further year of training and apprenticeship for emerging leaders and missionaries.
- Form Access (Sheffield only) is a new course designed to make form training more available to the wider church.
