We'd love to get a clearer idea of the training landscape across England and Wales so we can see how best to serve churches like yours. And we'll share all this data with you so you can see what the trends are and where your training sits in relation to that.

Style of Training Programme
In your traineeship (past, present or planned) what proportion of time do you have trainees receiving training input (e.g. on a course or reading) in relation to time in gospel ministry (e.g. Bible teaching and talk/study preparation) and time in practical service (e.g. admin or cleaning). We realise there are other activities in their week but it would be helpful to see the the rough split between those three areas (so the percentages below should add up to 100). If you have had no trainees or traineeship programme in recent years and none planned for the coming year then skip down to question 15.
