Helping women to handle the word of God
The Priscilla Programme is for women who serve their local churches in voluntary ministries. Following the pattern of Priscilla in Acts 18:26, it helps women to learn how to teach other women 'more accurately', care for others more biblically, and be better prepared to give reasons for their faith and hope.
Priscilla and her husband, Aquila, travelled with Paul, supported his ministry, and learned from him how to instruct others in the faith. This kind of volunteer ministry is still essential in contemporary church life. If you lead a Sunday school group, teach a Bible study, are involved in pastoral visiting, or any other kind of ministry that you would like to be better equipped for, the Priscilla Programme is for you!
How does it work? The programme is delivered online but participants study alongside one another.
Each module includes regular interactive seminars and individual tutorials, as well as video lectures and other downloadable content.
It is offered by Church Society in partnership with Union School of Theology.
Modules:
The Programme consists of six 10-week modules which may be studied consecutively over two years, or taken as stand-alone courses. You do not have to have any previous training or experience before starting on your ďŹ rst module.

“Priscilla has been an answer to prayer for me. Finding a place where you can grow in your knowledge and understanding of God can be challenging when you have young children. Priscilla has allowed me to spend a bit of time each week going deeper in my understanding of the Bible, and pushing me to think about how I can best share my faith with others. It has stretched and challenged me, and encouraged me to make deep and thoughtful study of the Bible part of my everyday life, even at a very busy stage of life.” Hilary, full-time mum of three www.ust.ac.uk
“Having been at one of Ros’s training sessions for women, I can speak from experience when I say that you can have confidence that everything will be well-researched, well-written, and well-delivered. Enjoy!” The Revd Prebendary Sarah Morris, Prison Service Managing Chaplain
