Explore a variety of training and development opportunities to grow in faith, discipleship and leadership, for yourself and for your churches.

Safeguarding Training

We have arranged more Safeguarding training opportunities for ministers and chaplains across our network, as well as for Safeguarding Coordinators and Designated Safeguarding Leads in Scottish Baptist churches.

This training will be provided by Thirtyone:eight (thirtyoneeight.org/) – an independent, Christian charity, which has specialised in offering support, consultancy and training in protecting the vulnerable for more than 30 years.

We have three separate, online webinar events scheduled in 2025, each consisting of 2 sessions of 2½ hours

We are running a new Church Planting course, in partnership with Forge Scotland, starting later this year.

For those of you keen to know more or feel God prompting you to dip your toes in, why not sign up for our taster course…

Training Hub

Are you interested in developing yourself, your leadership and finding your place in the Kingdom of God?
