Dear Friends
You’re warmly invited… come On The Way!
We’re excited to invite you to register your interest in an inspiring new Methodist discipleship course: On the Way
This short, accessible course is designed especially for those who:
Whether you’re at the beginning of your faith journey or seeking to refresh and deepen your discipleship, On The Way offers a welcoming and thoughtful environment to walk alongside others.
I had the privilege of a sneak preview of the material and was involved in its launch at the Methodist Superintendents Conference in Blackpool—and I can honestly say it’s engaging, relevant, and full of rich opportunity for conversation and growth. It’s been carefully shaped to speak into real life, and I’m genuinely excited about what it could offer across our Churches, Circuits and Districts.
If you’re curious, interested, or simply want to find out more, we’d love you to register your interest and take the next step On The Way. This link will enable you to get in touch to express interest and find out how you can be involved.
Let’s journey together.
Every Blessing
Rev. Dr Vincent Jambawo
A Superintendent Minister
