Mirfield Residential Contextual Pathway

The College of the Resurrection (Mirfield) and St Hild College are pleased to partner in jointly offering a Residential Contextual Pathway. Mirfield will contribute its residential setting, formational community, patterns of prayer and common life whilst St Hild brings its experience of contextual training, expertise in church planting/revitalisation and breadth of the student body.

Ordinands will be registered at the College of the Resurrection Mirfield, which will take overall responsibility for their formation, but their contextual training and much of their academic work, usually leading to a University of Durham Common Awards qualification, will be overseen by St Hild.

Mission

Ordinands on this pathway are engaged with mission in a local context for 16 hours per week developing new ministry alongside an experienced practitioner, supported by regular group reflection time. 

Study 

Ordinands study at St Hild Mirfield and alongside other students in the College of the Resurrection on an academic pathway designed around their academic needs and interests. This pathway involves study for 20 hours each week with additional academic time possible, depending on the individual study pathway. 

Prayer

Ordinands on this pathway are members of the College of the Resurrection community, fully engaged in its rhythms of prayer, service and reflection.
