Rooted is the EMBA’s commitment to equip ministers and leaders for contemporary ministry and to help churches engage in mission and ministry in our ever-changing world.
Themed days (usually three) are held each year that provide an opportunity to reflect theologically and practically on a particular aspect of ministry. The day is broadly aimed at either Ministers and Pastors (Rooted for Ministers), wider church leadership teams, including ministers and pastors (Rooted for Leaders), or open to anyone connected to our churches (Rooted for Everyone).
The days are participative and delivered by experienced and knowledgeable speakers. Themes explored so far include creative discipleship, understanding cultural change, and engaging missionally with new housing estates. Further sessions are always being planned and developed and will be displayed on this page.
All sessions are delivered free of charge to EMBA churches, although donations are always welcome to offset costs. We are always happy to receive suggestions for topics or themes to be explored.
Steve is coming to the end of his year as President of Baptists Together and was Principal of Bristol Baptist College for 17 years
Steve will be reflecting on the purposes of preaching, the need to ensure that we are encouraging disciples to be biblical in their thinking, how we can help them to have an understanding of every part of the bible and to see how the different parts of the Scriptures relate to one another and fit together.
This event is part of the "Rooted for Ministers" stream but is open to anyone involved in preaching in church.
Refreshments will be provided but please bring a packed lunch.
