The school of Worship and mission

SEVEN STORIES IS A JOURNEY WHERE THE HEART OF WORSHIP AND THE HEART OF MISSION COLLIDE

THE SEVEN STORIES SCHOOL IS A JOURNEY INTO THE PURPOSES OF GOD.

Exploring the Bible’s story from creation to restoration, the school is time set aside in a place of beauty to absorb great teaching, to lean into the rescue that is in the Father’s heart, to discover His passion for your future, to grow in boldness and courage and to learn what it is to live in the full current of His blessing. The school will empower you to connect more deeply with your God-given inheritance and to search out the treasures that come from intimacy with the Father, Son and Spirit - embracing the value God places on you and the value He asks you to place on others. Currently the language of the Seven Stories School is English. We have found the course to be very fruitful to those for whom English is a second language, provided they are confident at a conversational level. Past participants have come from Holland, France, Russia and Albania as well as the UK, Canada and the USA.

If you're tired of being forced to choose between experience and action, between receiving good news and being good news…

…Then the Seven Stories school is for you
