Training

At SCBA, we believe that equipping and encouraging leaders is a key part of how we resource our churches and communities. That’s why we offer a range of training opportunities and learning events throughout the year: designed to inspire, equip, and connect you with others across the Association.

Thanks to the generosity of Home Mission giving, all our training events are subsidised, making them accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a church leader, volunteer, or simply eager to grow in faith and ministry, we’d love you to join us.

In Conversation With ......

Join us for an inspiring series of evening online events where we sit down with experienced practitioners, leaders, and thinkers to explore different aspects of church ministry. Each session offers a chance to hear fresh perspectives, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversation about what it means to lead and serve in today’s church.

Whether you’re a minister, church leader, or simply curious about how we can grow in faith and mission together, these sessions are a relaxed and accessible way to learn, reflect, and be encouraged.
