How it works

Jesus taught His disciples and sent them out to put into action what they were discovering. There’s so much we’ll never discover unless we do something with what we’ve been given, and that’s why ministry placements are a vital part of St. Marks Academy.

If you’re not sure which apprenticeship is right for you, watch our extended promo with info about the Mission Apprenticeship scheme, and read on below to find out more about what each church offers. At every placement church you’ll find a ministry supervisor who will support your growth and learning on placement.
