Estates Apprenticeship Scheme January 2026

The aim of the Estates Apprenticeship Scheme is to develop local leadership skills, grow in their faith, and plant new worshipping communities that are rooted in the culture and needs of their contexts.

This unique apprenticeship combines cohort-based learning, practical ministry experience, and shoulder-to-shoulder learning, helping apprentices develop the skills, resilience, and vision they need to lead in estate contexts.

Who is it for?

The scheme is for people who:

• Live in or have a heart for estates and want to see vibrant, Jesus-centred communities grow
• Feel called to leadership or church planting but want structured training and experience
• Are already serving in estate ministry and want to develop their skills further
• Want to explore what God is calling them to do in the long-term

The January Cohort 2026 will begin meeting from 11am –  4pm weekly, beginning Monday 12 January 2026 at The Old Deanery, near St Paul’s Cathedral.
