Rural Missions Solutions hosts regular Online Mission Forums for Rural and Village churches to discuss key issues affecting the Rural Church.
The objective of our Forums is sharing insights, knowledge and experience, thereby encouraging and supporting rural churches in their mission. This is a great way to network, engage and share with others in similar positions.
Who would benefit from this?
While the forum is open for anyone to attend, it is particularly helpful for all who serve their local church in any rural setting, lay or ordained. This could include clergy, licensed lay ministers, PCC members, free-church deacons, church wardens, etc.
The forum will have several key parts, which include:
An introduction, which includes looking at one or more scriptures focused on Mission.
A presentation from a guest speaker, or one of the Rural Missions team.
Small group Discussion - some of the time will be in the form of conversations, where small groups share information about their church and their experiences engaging with the wider community.
Feedback sessions, where each group provides a brief overview and reflections from their discussion.
