Accessing the studies

JOSHUA Centres offer bespoke module delivery depending on local church interests and availability. Individuals can join JOSHUA Online to suit their needs.

JOSHUA Centre modules are delivered in line with a local church’s agreed programme – this may be evenings or Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons, weekly, fortnightly or even monthly frequency, etc.

Those individuals wanting to access modules being delivered in local JOSHUA Centres will have to align themselves with the church group’s agreed programme. This information can be made available when applying for JOSHUA Centre modules.

JOSHUA Centres have previously run in Stourbridge, Dundee, Newent, Swansea and Romford.

BECOMING A JOSHUA CENTRE

We are looking for local church leaders to think about becoming a venue for a JOSHUA Centre. We would need someone to be the coordinator in that local church who would liaise with the Joshua administration team. Please contact us to discuss your needs as a local church in search of biblical training. Contact: rharknett@glo-europe.org
