Leadership development is an essential aspect of our work, especially in the communities and congregations we are connected with.

The Wagstaff Course
This is a year-long course for lay Christians from churches involved in our School of Congregational Development – deepening their engagement with Scripture, prayer and theological reflection and developing their leadership through the practices of community organising.
We are also piloting a shorter Listen and Lead course among churches in Newham.

Buxton Leadership Programme
This year-long programme is a unique opportunity to experience life in and around Westminster alongside church-based community organising. Interns will have the chance to explore the role of faith in public life both on a national level and at the grassroots. Successful applicants will work as community organisers in local churches on a range of campaigns and concerns. They will also spend part of their placement in a political organisation or Parliamentary office.
• We welcome applicants who have graduated from University from all parts of the UK and from all Christian backgrounds.
• The programme includes regular seminars, training and personal development input throughout the year
• Buxton Interns are paid at the London Living Wage
