Practise is deeply embedded in our Values

Have you ever been to a conference or a course and come back inspired, only for it to fade into the recesses of your life shortly after? All our courses and events will contain some element of practise to them to help you bring concepts and ideas to life.   You will have the opportunity to ‘bed-in’ newly learned concepts into real life situations.  We will try to keep these as close to your context as possible.

THE TRELLIS & THE VINE REPORT

We are delighted to be able to share with you “The Trellis and The Vine” report produced by Brendan Research. This is an independent impact assessment report on the work that we have been doing with Irvine & Kilmarnock Presbytery over the last couple of years.

Our shared goal was to ‘To growing a more outward-looking, mission-minded, disciple-making Presbytery.’

We have seen 6 new Pioneer Projects up and running with fully trained teams (through Forge Pioneer) and 11 congregations coming through the Learning Community growing their churches in disciple-making and mission.

 

Here are some of the quotes:

“It was the time when the church hit rock bottom, but Cairn and the Pioneers helped turn things around. We’re talking about hope and encouraged about God’s Kingdom building again.”

 “Cairn has enabled us to understand mission through a 21st Century lens and not an 18th Century one”

 “Cairn brought the structure central to the change programme”

 

“The Forge Pioneer Course creates ‘safe spaces to be creative’”
