Learning and Development grants will not be available from 15 August 2023

Helping people become, learn and grow into confident disciples of Jesus is a core part of our mission as a district. One of the ways we equip growing disciples is through provision of grants to access learning and development opportunities.

Priority will be given to people who have no other learning and development grant entitlement, especially first time applicants, but applications from staff, including presbyters, will also be considered.

Learning and development funding can cover such things as resources for house groups or study groups; expenses for speakers from other parts of the country; costs of joining a workshop, course or activity or contributions to extended periods of study.

Applications are considered by our Learning and Development Group which meets 5/6 times a year.
