How to Pioneer Book Club will run 7:30 - 9:00pm across Tuesdays 1, 8, 15, 22 October

"Brilliant in its simplicity, How to Pioneer is an easy-to-read, immensely practical guide... It has the wonderful sense when you read it of making you think "I can do this" which is the point - you can!" says Jonny Baker - Director of Mission Education at CMS and one of the leading thinkers around starting of small New Christian Communities.

Join Neil Harland (District Mission Enabler) and Rev Carla Quenet (Learning Network) on Zoom over four evenings to explore this easily readable book. Written by David Male, National Advisor for Pioneer Development for the Church of England, the book succeeds in doing what it says on the tin: explaining how and why to start a New Christian Community in practical simple language. 

This Book Club is for you if recognise that some of the people you know are very unlikely join your church, no matter how good it is, but may engage with a different expression of Christian community, tailored to the form and and time that works for them. Especially if you feel you haven't much by way of time, money or theological qualifications to devote to this task.

We will send a free copy of the book (worth £12) to the first 10 people to sign up to attend the book club

Sheffield Methodist District are also offering £750 seed funding grants to help start New Christian Communities through our New Beginnings scheme. So once you have started learning how to pioneer you can put this into practice.
