Form Access
Form Access is a year-long course (September – June) based in Sheffield for anyone of any age who wants to grow in character and maturity within a context of mission or ministry. Formal teaching will be available weekly to download along with appropriate handouts and trainees are placed within a huddle which meets fortnightly (usually evenings), to process the year. Alongside this there will be a rolling programme throughout the year of project work, retreat days and socials, giving us the time to share what God is doing through as many different ways as possible. Trainees are expected to be a member of a cluster or missional community within the church and to be engaged in an area of mission/ministry.
“[I have] more faith and courage that God can change me and wants good things for me and more confidence to step into what he’s asking me to do.”
It is hoped that those with full-time work or family commitments will find Form Access beneficial in training and equipping them for the things God has called them to.
Form Access could be for
- Recent graduates or young adults who have gone into a full-time job but who still want the training and opportunity to be discipled within the context of their workplace or other ministry or mission area.
- Anyone of any age who wants to spend a year focusing on developing maturity in Christ.
- Anyone of any age who is in some form of leadership across the church or in their workplace.
Requirements for doing Form Access
- An ability to download the teaching from the website
- An agreement to sacrifice the time required to listen to the teaching and to attend huddle evenings.
- Trainees must be in a place of belonging and mission within Philadelphia or The King’s Centre and to be involved in some area of personal mission or ministry.

The cost of the course is £395 and is payable in monthly instalments by standing order over the course of the year, with an initial deposit of £45 payable at the start of the course in September.
