Effective and enduring ministry requires sound theological knowledge coupled with the dynamic and life changing encounter with the living God.
The Areté Centre brings together these two realities to aspire pastoral and ministry leaders to excellence in servant leadership, to live up to their God-given potential and to grow in knowledge needed for the Church’s mission in the world today.
This program is open to anyone passionate about parish renewal, who already works in ministry or is interested in starting. Whether you are a volunteer or in paid employment, a youth minister, involved in adult evangelisation, or in leadership in your parish, movement or community, the Foundations of Missionary Leadership program is for you. The program is unlike any other as it is designed specifically for the Australian context and offers a unique blend of theological knowledge, human development, spiritual formation, and practical skills needed for mission.
