Catch up on our recent Pioneer Ministry Hopeful Renewal gathering
At this year’s General Synod, the Pioneer Ministry Council made reference to a gathering as part of its vision to raise awareness about how the Church is growing in many places and to bring in gifted speakers who can encourage us about how there is much hope for the future.
Over the next week, we’ll be sharing five videos from this Pioneer Ministry Hopeful Renewal gathering, to inspire and encourage leaders and members all across our island about the potential for growth.
Also, please save the date in your diaries for the 2025 Pioneer Ministry annual Gathering which will be on Saturday, 22nd November, from 10am to 3.30pm (venue to be confirmed
over the next few weeks). For more details, please an eye on the Pioneer Ministry website or sign up to its newsletter here: https://www.pioneerministry.org/connect
