Are you training for full-time ministry?

Join a Spirit-led network of peers, mentors and leaders from across the New Wine family as we grow together, pray together and continue to say yes to God’s call.

We believe unity is not optional—it’s powerful. “Where there is unity, the Lord commands a blessing.” (Psalm 133) This is a place where different streams meet with one heart: to serve Jesus and lead his Church.

Why LiT?

You’ve said yes to God’s call. You don’t need to walk that road alone.

The Leaders in Training (LiT) network is here to support, connect, and equip those preparing for church leadership across the UK. Whether you’re just starting out or already deep in training, LiT exists to help you grow in confidence, deepen your calling, and develop the skills needed for lifelong Spirit-and-Word ministry.

Whatever your denomination, training context, or journey—LiT is for you.

 

What You’ll Find in the LiT Network:

Connection

Build real relationships with others walking the same path. Whether you’re in theological college, on a ministry placement, or discerning your next step in training, you’ll find a supportive community to walk with you.

Prayer

Leadership is a supernatural call. Through every gathering, we create space for prophetic encouragement, prayerful support, and moments to seek God’s presence together.

Equipping

Leadership takes more than passion—it takes formation. LiT connects you with experienced leaders, practical input, and tailored resources to help shape you in both character and competence.

Be part of a growing community of Kingdom-focused, Spirit-led leaders in training equipped to impact the Church and transform society.

FAQs

Absolutely! LiT welcomes leaders in training from all denominations, backgrounds, and training pathways. Our focus is on unity across the Church and creating a Spirit-led community where everyone belongs.

LiT offers something complementary—a wider network of peers and mentors across denominations, opportunities for focused prayer, and access to leadership resources outside your institution. It’s a space to broaden your support and grow in new ways.

We understand that time is precious. That’s why we offer just four online gatherings per year, along with occasional regional meet-ups and annual events—so you can engage in ways that suit your season and availability. There’s no pressure to commit beyond what feels manageable for you.

Definitely. LiT includes online gatherings, prayer, and resources so you can connect no matter where you are in the UK.

While many training programmes and leadership networks offer valuable teaching and community, no single programme can provide everything you need on your leadership journey. LiT is designed specifically for those preparing for full-time ministry, with a distinct emphasis on the New Wine DNA—integrating Spirit and Word, prophetic prayer, and a culture of listening to God’s voice. 

LiT complements other networks by offering focused opportunities for spiritual formation, targeted prayer ministry, and peer support rooted in a Spirit-led approach. It’s a space where you can grow not only in skills and knowledge but also in your relationship with God and confidence to lead by His power. 

Joining LiT means stepping into a network that prioritises both practical leadership development and supernatural equipping, helping you become a well-rounded leader ready to serve the Church with boldness and grace. 

LiT is especially for those at every stage of the journey, including beginners. It’s a place where questions, learning, and vulnerability are welcomed and encouraged.

Just like the whole of New Wine, LiT is for all denominations. We believe that unity is not only possible but essential, bringing blessing and strength to the Church’s future. Rather than division, our diversity fuels a richer, Spirit-led community where leaders from every background can learn, pray, and grow together.
