‘In a church culture which is too easily besotted and beguiled by all that is shiny and new, ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ concentrates on the tried and tested, putting parish and people, evangelism and service front and centre. This is extraordinary help for ordinary churches.’

 –  Archbishop Stephen Cottrell, The Most Reverend the Lord Archbishop of York, Patron of Leading your Church into Growth

‘For years ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ has been and remains the best single piece of training that any local church can undertake if it wants to learn more about sharing the great news of Jesus Christ.’

– Rt Revd Paul Bayes, Bishop of Liverpool

Also, hear from some of those who have attended our LYCiG Conference previously:

• “This course was really good for us because it gave time to think away from the pressures of everyday work – it would have been even better had we had more members of our team to join the conversation,  ..”  St Michael’s Church, St Albans (The Revd Kenneth Padley)
• ” … quick and easy way to describe the course is ‘inspirational'” ……   “content is well thought out, well-rehearsed and delivered with passion” ….   “what did we gain? – time to sit back and reflect …”   “remember that we should be sharing all that we have in the love, hope and comfort of following Jesus”     Bishop’s Hatfield Team – full testimonial here
