Our 12 New Academy Students

From the beginning of September our K2 building has once again become the learning and development hub for our Academy students.

At its core, Academy aims to help everyone to be a disciple equipped to make disciples of others. Starting with being intentional about growing closer to God, each student will have the opportunity to discover more about their identity and purpose, deepening their Bible knowledge, and developing leadership skills. Many will also study a distance learning Certificate in Applied Theology with  Moorlands Bible College.

Each one will be outworking course learning through serving in both the course and Church, so as a team they will support many Kerith ministry areas. 

We have twelve Academy students this year, including three from Europe. By way of introduction here are their names and the areas where they’re going to be serving (in the same order as they are in the photo):

Maria Ventsel (from Estonia) – Engagement team

Melodie Alcibiade (from France) – Monday Night Youth, Kids Team & Growth Track

Ro Cyril-Daniel – Alpha & Growth Track

Ayse Flack – Senior Management Team support

Padma Gurung – Kids Team

Georgia Christie – Youth Team

Samantha Gallotan – Sundays Team

Erika Kazdaileviciute (from Lithuania) – Social Justice Team

Nicole Bailey – Creative & Production Team

Mwamba Phiri – Creative Team & Youth Team

Damien Newman – Social Justice Team

Matt Dack – Youth Team

Please be praying for them to grow closer to Jesus as a result of this year, say hello to them if you see them around, and thank God for their willingness to give this time to deepen their relationship with him.
