Applications are now open for Leadership Learning Space (LLS), an enriching initiative from the Methodist Church, designed to equip both lay and ordained leaders with practical skills and spiritual insights.
Open to individuals from all walks of life, LLS recognises that leadership extends far beyond the boundaries of the church. Whether you are guiding a team in a workplace, operating in the community, working or volunteering for a charity; or serving in a church, LLS offers tools and perspectives to empower you to be a better leader.
LLS runs across eight Monday evening sessions, each carefully curated to explore key aspects of leadership, including vision casting, decision-making, nurturing others, and personal growth. It provides a welcoming and collaborative environment where participants can engage with experienced facilitators, share insights, and grow alongside peers.
With its emphasis on Christ-centred holistic leadership for every context, LLS is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of leadership and your capacity to serve effectively in God’s world.
To express your interest in the cohort beginning in October 2025, please email mvw@methodistchurch.org.uk by 31 August 2025. If we're able to offer you a place, we'll get in touch to schedule a conversation with a member of the team prior to the first session so that we can get to know you better.
