Forge Pioneer Course
We believe there is a huge need for new patterns of Kingdom life to take root throughout Scotland and Ireland if we are to see the vast majority of the population impacted with the gospel.
This will involve the establishment of new churches and missional communities, but will also involve the development of new missional projects, businesses, programmes and initiatives in every area of society.
The Forge Pioneer Course is a year-long spare time course designed to move anyone with a missional dream from concept to reality.
Emerging Pioneers
Emerging Pioneer Network Scotland is an initiative of Cairn, Alpha Scotland, Baptist Union of Scotland and others
Emerging Pioneers is the vision for a structured, supportive, training process with the express aim of preparing young leaders to start new Church Plants, mission projects and Kingdom businesses.
What is envisaged is a 3-year process, which builds, year by year cohorts, of 12-15 young leaders aged between 18-25.
Throughout this time, there would be an expectation that the young leader would be embedded and serving in their local church. Additional mission context placements may also be included where suitable options are not available locally.
We recognise the need for a wraparound programme to create a sense of community and support, journeying through the process. So, in addition to these year-by-year training blocks, we also plan on gathering annually for a couple of residentials; once in the Summer and once a year in January. We also anticipate a variety of regular relational touchpoints, including a monthly rhythm of gathering cohorts on a citywide basis, for food and worship.
The training process would have, as a broad outline:
- Year 1: Training Hub addressing character and discipleship
- Year 2: Internship in a missional context
- Year 3: Forge Pioneer preparing to launch new initiatives
It is anticipated that the cost of this programme would be found by the participants and would not be massively more than the cost of each of the component training courses. So, about £1,000 per annum.
We are preparing for next year’s intake ahead of the Training Hub starting. To find out more, visit emergingpioneers.org or email aaron@cairnmovement.com
