Ministry Apprenticeship

The Tron Church’s Ministry Apprenticeship is a two-year programme for those considering full-time ministry or anyone keen to learn more about working in the Church while being trained in the core skills of understanding and communicating the Bible’s message to others.

We are open to accepting those tentatively exploring their own gifts and call, as well as those with a more settled conviction that full-time word ministry is their goal. 

For all our aim is to train clear and competent messengers of the truth through combining study at the Cornhill Training Course with working alongside an experienced staff team and an active, serving church.

The programme

The programme runs from August/September 2025 to August 2027 and there are 3 key elements to the apprenticeship:

1) Theological training: in addition to in-house training from senior staff in the church, you’ll spend two days a week at the excellent Cornhill Scotland Training Course along with many others from across Scotland.

2) Ministry experience: each apprentice will be involved in some of the key ministries in the church and will have opportunities to teach the Bible and receive feedback:

• Student Growth Groups (Release the Word)

• Youth ministry

• International Bible Studies

• English Class

• Evangelistic Courses (The Life Course, Christianity Explored)

• Reading the Bible one-to-one with students and young workers 

3) Serving opportunities: apprentices will also have opportunity to serve in a variety of practical ways, including administration, cleaning and practical tasks necessary for various ministries to run.
