Here are some testimonies from those who have been a part of form over the past 13 years: to date we have had over 300 people go through form training – and counting!

form is a safe place to work out who you are and what you're about. I started my form year wanting to develop my leadership skills, but God had other ideas and he developed my character! During form I was challenged to find my security in God and to break off things that hindered me from having his fullness of life.
Hannah Smith - form 03-04
During my year on form God really started to help me trust in him and get rid of a ton of insecurities. I’m definitely still a work in progress but the further from form I get the more I realise how significant the work He did in me then was. It was real foundational stuff and I have definitely known increasing freedom through the years because if it.
Lucy Buckley - form 00-01
Some of the highlights of my form year were having the time out to process stuff, the friendships and close community we had, morning prayers and the good teaching.
Victoria Stokke – form 07-08
Doing form was a great year to get to know God better and deeper, and to forge lasting friendships. I am still reaping the benefits of the lessons I learnt, and the depth of relationship that was formed with God in that year.
Rich Robinson - form 00-01
I think one of the best things was getting to know 20 people really well and learning to really love them all even though they were all so different from each other.
Jane Hawkins – form 02-03
I always said that form was the year God takes you apart then puts you back together again, His way!
Jo Parkins – form 99-00
form was the most confidence building, character developing, growth stimulating year, of teaching in connecting with Jesus and His Word, establishing positive habits for life and discovering how to live in New Testament community. I will never forget the friends I made during this time.
Chris Lewis – form 02-03
I started the year not believing in God and by the time I finished that certainly wasn’t the case! God took me apart and put me back together again, which was painful but good cuz he knows how I’m supposed to work. And I received words that year that I still stand on as truths about my life that change how I view stuff.
Liz Challis - form 03-04
form was not at all what I expected. I went into the year expecting to learn how to be a more smashingly gifted and impressive individual, but... instead of joining a self development plan, I spent the year learning incredibly exciting and surprising things about my Dad in heaven, stuff that you just can't help be awe struck by. So in short, form was a year to basically fall in love all over again with Jesus. Pretty simple eh?
Steven Cotton - form 06-07
form was a massive year for my faith, I am still realising what God did in my heart that year. I learned so much about myself and what community means. It’s a fantastic way to be discipled and become familiar with more people in church. It’s a year of personal investment that is more worthwhile than you could think!
Lydia Jesson – form 05-06
My form huddle remain some of the people I love the most.
Matt Rutter – form 01-02
During the year, form challenged all parts of my personality, developed and matured my character and stretched my understanding of the bible, my faith and mission. Find whatever way you can to do form – you won’t regret it!
