ALM Preaching course

Starting on Thursday 8 January, our ALM Preaching course is training for those who an Incumbent identifies as having potential to become an ALM Preacher.

The ALM Preaching course will train and enable people to preach more often and respond to the needs of the parishes. Our aim, at the Mission and Ministry Department is to ensure that this significant preaching ministry is resourced through training, to equip ALM Preachers to be confident and skilled in what they do. A number of people from around the Diocese will be involved in the training.
