The Queen’s Foundation is one of England’s oldest theological colleges, preparing candidates for ordained ministry in the Church of England since the early part of the 19th Century. From 1970 Queen’s pioneered ecumenical training with the Methodist Church as a primary partner. Queen’s was also a pioneer of ecumenical part time training and of having a dedicated research centre. Queen’s strives to be a diverse, challenging, Gospel-focused community, shaping people for God’s mission in the world. As a community, gathered and dispersed, Queen’s strives to: practise deep attentiveness to Jesus Christ live by the Holy Spirit’s leading stimulate joyful, challenging exploration of the riches of the Bible and Christian traditions create a lively, extended prophetic community of worship, prayer and action provide searching, supportive pathways of formation and training for discipleship and ministry listen to voices which are often not heard enable the less confident to find their voice and flourish. We celebrate unity in diversity, in a community that is international, multi-cultural, and ecumenical. We aim to enable Christians to deepen their spiritual life, to grow in a faith that is generous, enquiring, deeply rooted and creative in thought and practice, and to be passionate for God’s work in God’s world. So whatever your reason for embarking on theological study, wherever God is calling you to, you’ll find Queen’s a hospitable but challenging place. We’ll help you grow through a journey of exploration and development, as your beliefs are tested and strengthened, and as God grows and forms you for your future service.

As our ministry has grown over the last several decades we have continually asked the question – What is it that we have to offer through the Holy Spirit to both those in need and/or those within the church seeking deeper relationship with Christ? We have discovered that through a mixture of teaching, training and a more tailored mentoring approach we can help individuals, groups and churches to fulfill more of their potential in Christ. That is, to disciple them in ways that impact all areas of their lives. Our background combines business and training, research and therapeutic work together over many years, alongside church planting and church growth. We bring a high level of hands on pragmatism with all these skills. We are not content with just teaching and envisioning. We also focus very specifically on the how-to-do-it, the step-by-step approaches that turn Biblical ideas into a new way of life in Christ. Also our approach is collaborative – what we mean by this is that we help you identify what your own options are, what your own values are, what your calling in Christ really means to you. Then we support you in achieving this through our training programs. We are also developing these ideas academically, looking beyond our own calling and practices. We work alongside local congregations, helping to equip them for both local church life and wider mission. We also offer training for Christian leaders and those who want to learn to help others. All our resources and programs are intended to help support a persons ongoing discipleship journey – your journey into greater wholeness. In all that we offer we are always seeking to answer the often-heard basic question, ‘how do I do that?’. Therefore most of our programmes are tailored to the needs of the participants. No two events are alike, so be warned!

Our purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God through training and teaching people from all over the world. CORE VALUES  Community As a residential, cross-cultural community we provide a framework for growth in all areas and encourage the students to be Christlike. While fellowship between students and staff creates a close mentoring and nurturing environment. Christ Centered Jesus’ leadership was characterised by service as well as integrity, excellence, faith, hope and love, so we don’t just teach them to preach about Him but to imitate him and develop a servant attitude too. Connected We have always been aware of and responded to the needs of the nations and these international connections ensure that we continue to network with missions worldwide. While the students’ involvement in local churches gives opportunities to form connections within the UK. Complete The school believes that the key to preparing the next generation for effective ministry is a programme with a good academic curriculum taught by passionate, experienced and competent lecturers together with a strong vocational component, so this is our holistic approach. VISION &  GOALS The IBTC’s vision is to empower a young generation to effectively function in Christian service. This vision is accomplished by welcoming students from many parts of the world, training them into mission back home and abroad. THROUGH OUR TRAINING WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING THEM: * Discover their vocation if they have not yet done so. * Define their already present vocation in areas where they lack understanding. * Develop their vocation and their gifts. THROUGH THEIR TRAINING THEY WILL BE ABLE TO: * Create a culture of learning by supporting local churches and other Christian vocational schools and organisations worldwide. * Evangelise throughout the world through missionary trips, community projects, discipleship programmes etc. * Relieve poverty across the world by meeting people’s needs in a holistic way.

By The Diocese of St Albans

Cursillo is a movement in the Christian church aimed at committed Christians that is built on three principles of prayer, study and action. It started in Spain and the name comes from the Spanish word for a ‘short course’. It helps us to grow into a deeper relationship with God, become more effective witnesses to Christ, and to encourage and support fellow Christians. Cursillo is active in many dioceses around the country and was first commissioned in our diocese by the Bishop of Hertford on behalf of the Bishop of St Albans in October 2011. We are offering an ‘Explore Cursillo’ afternoon on Saturday 22nd November as part of the Year of Spiritual Renewal and Wellbeing. The afternoon is aimed at both clergy and lay people who want to understand more about the movement. There will be short talks explaining how Cursillo works as well as the opportunity to join with existing Cursillo members to find out how it benefits them. Please register to attend the Explore Cursillo afternoon and you can also find out more at www.stalbansdiocese.org/life-and-faith/cursillo/ or www.stalbanscursillo.com.
