Elizabeth's Foundations for Ministry Journey

Elizabeth's Foundations for Ministry Journey

Elizabeth Phillips works in Mental Health and is from St Nicholas Wallasey. Read on to find out why she and others found Foundations for Ministry so impactful and possibly life changing.


"The Foundations for Ministry course is exactly what it says on the tin and is for anyone who is thinking about any kind of role within the church – with or without a dog collar. I found myself there because it was suggested to me and I wanted to explore a nagging feeling that just wouldn’t go away, that I sort of thought could be God…….if you’re reading this you probably know the one!


"Whatever your reason for attending the course and whether it leads to anything else, it is both a personal and a shared fellowship experience you travel together. The design of the programme is very much about fostering that group experience to create a really safe space to learn about all things church and vocation.


"It was really impactful for me and quite life changing for some of my fellow travellers. I thoroughly enjoyed it – I learnt a lot about myself and how God is continually shaping me for what I need to be in Him.

It is such a gift to feel God has you exactly where, doing exactly what He has designed for you in this time and place."
