Why train with Church Mission Society?
Be understood.
A course by pioneers for pioneers. We get it and we will help you help others get it. Our students discover a language that works.
Be recognised.
The pioneering gift should be recognised and appreciated. Our qualifications are accredited by Durham University.
Be trusted.
A whole 200+ year mission community and a vast network behind you who believe in you.
Really.
Be supported.
You can’t do this alone. You'll be part of a dynamic learning community and wider network of pioneer hubs and friends.
Be you.
Connect and learn with others like you who have discovered the freedom of not fitting in.
