Apprentices at St Mark’s
Ministry Training Strategy (MTS)
A MTS Apprenticeship is two years of real-life training based within a church or a specialist ministry team. Apprenticeships are centred on prayer, Bible study and are designed to give you on the job experience and training prior to degree level theological study or an employed ministry role.
It is a 2 year, hands-on, full time ministry apprenticeship – and gives you the opportunity to ‘live the life’ of a full time gospel worker. A MTS apprenticeship will help you work out:
(i) how you’re wired and (ii) where you might plug in to grow God’s Kingdom in the future.
If you’re interested in doing an MTS apprenticeship with St Mark’s, email Matt Sheridan at matts@unechurch.org for more information.
