Giving students practical ministry training in local churches

An Important part of the All Nations training programme.

Students may have the opportunity to preach, lead worship or help with church youth work. All students worship on Sundays in a variety of local churches of different denominations.

Below is a list of All Nations Local Church Partnerships. If you would like your church to partner with us, please email: info@allnations.ac.uk. Depending on student numbers and available cars we may not be able to send our students to every church every year, but we highly value our ongoing relationships.

 

St Andrews, Stanstead Abbotts

We have had a long standing relationship with St Andrews and our students have always enjoyed the stroll down to our local village church. They have encouraged and supported our students and staff and has spiritually fed them as they prepare for mission. Members of staff living locally as well as our friends (and former staff members) the Goldsmith’s are known to preach and lead there, and enjoy worshiping there.

Hoddesdon Baptist Church

Since the beginning of All Nations we have been connected with, and supported by Hoddesdon Baptist Church. Please read their comment sent to us about our relationship to find out more.

“Hoddesdon Baptist Church is justifiably proud of its long-standing link with All Nations College. When the men’s’ college first moved to Easneye in 1964 the church was pleased to welcome both staff and students to its worship services – and that link has continued over 50 years!

Indeed, when the merged college of 1971 sent out its first married couples HBC welcomed – among others – Andrew and Janet Persson. And when the Perssons went on, after their studies, to join Wycliffe Bible Translators in Sudan they were supported by the church and went on being supported for the next 40 years until their retirement in 2012!

HBC continues to have former and present staff among its members and always tries to make the annual intake of students as welcome as they can be. We have a lively and supportive mission partnership scheme and 5 of our current missionary partners were trained at All Nations – not to mention 2 of our former pastors.

So in every way our link with All Nations has been a mutual blessing and for which we praise the Lord.

Rev Dr Bob Hunt (Former Acting Pastor and former staff member at ANCC for 35 years)

People of all ages and stages are welcome and there is something for everyone. They believe each person has something to bring that will add colour and creativity to the church family and it is their desire that everyone feels welcomed and accepted and finds a place of belonging and fulfillment. They seek to be a church that is Jesus led, Spirit empowered and Grace based.

Many students have done their placements at Christ Church, getting involved in children’s work, youth work and a ministry amongst the elderly. One of our college tutors and several members of college staff attend Christ Church. This helps to keep the connection strong.
