Smaller Churches Network 09.06

At SCBA, we recognise the unique challenges that come with being part of a smaller church community. We want you to know that you are not alone. To support one another, we host termly online gatherings specifically for churches with a membership of under 40 people. These times together provide space to listen, share, and encourage each other in ministry and mission. Alongside this, we also encourage local, in-person meet-ups to deepen connection and offer mutual support. Whether online or face-to-face, our heart is to journey together and strengthen one another in all that God is calling us to do.

For more information about in-person meet-ups contact Rev Hayley

Introduction to Spiritual Direction Training

September 2025 - May 2026

Spiritual Direction Course 25-

Holy Ground is an ecumenical spiritual direction training course for Christians who find themselves accompanying others on their spiritual journey. This may be in a formal capacity as a minister, pastoral assistant or mentor, or perhaps you have noticed that others turn to you as a listening ear. This foundation course is ideal for all those who would like to train in the ministry of spiritual direction whether ordained or lay.

​The course will run over three terms, consisting of 25 sessions: 22 online evening sessions (Thursdays 6.30pm to 9.30pm), and 3 in person days (Saturdays 10am to 4pm) which will take place at Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford.
