Facilitator Training Course

In this opening module, we look at the vision behind Riverside Women and the biblical foundations of women’s ministry. You’ll discover how the early church model of fellowship, prayer, and encouragement shapes everything we do today.

Ministry happens in the details of everyday life. Here you’ll develop skills in hospitality, leading coffee meetups, organising events, speaking with confidence, and guiding Bible studies — all with Christ at the centre.

Women come with different stories, struggles, and needs. In this module, we’ll cover pastoral care basics, listening skills, supporting women through grief, and being sensitive to life circumstances and learning difficulties.

Unity in ministry requires understanding. This module gives you a grounding in essential Christian doctrines, awareness of denominational differences, and wisdom in handling disagreements with grace and truth.

Strong ministry depends on strong teams. This module focuses on building unity, resolving conflict biblically, encouraging one another, and using digital tools to stay organised and connected.

Healthy ministry flows from a healthy spiritual life. In this final module, we look at prayer, worship as a way of life, and how to avoid burnout by resting in Christ and staying refreshed in His presence.
