Ministry Trainee Testimonials

“During my time as a ministry trainee at All Souls I worked in the student ministry for a year after graduating from university. God taught me so much about his grace and how his love frees me to worship and serve him. It was the perfect stepping stone from student life into the world of work. I now work in publishing as an editor and feel very blessed to live as an ambassador for Christ as he continues to disciple me each day.”

Jess Lacey (Ministry Trainee, 2015–16)

“The ministry trainee programme was a wonderful and valuable time for me to learn foundational theology, grow deeper in my relationship with God whilst having the privilege of serving my church family and preparing me for my career changing into full time vocational ministry. I would definitely recommend this programme!”

Caroline Millar (Ministry Trainee, 2015–16)
