Phase Four

Journey to Ordained Ministry - Phase Four

Training in Ministry (TiM)

All newly ordained clergy are required to participate in a post-ordination training program called Training in Ministry (TiM) for three years following their ordination to the Diaconate.

TiM provides an opportunity for ongoing reflection, professional development and vocational support for those who are newly ordained.
It comprises 2 x half days and 5 x full days each calendar year.

It is assumed that, for the most part, newly ordained clergy will serve a two- year curacy before being appointed to their first ministry setting as an ordained person. Continuing with TiM in this third year provides the opportunity for ongoing and intentional support and learning during this time of transition.
