Certificate Stories

  • ‘The teaching modules were packed full of live and relevant examples and allowed space for the process groups to draw out what it means for us in our youth groups and schools. The coaching and feedback opportunities gave space for blind spots to be gently worked through.’

    Lizzie Milne, Youth Worker

  • ‘The quality and depth of the teaching was beyond any of my expectations. Through the Onelife Certificate I have grown more confident as a leader, feeling better equipped in my ministry. I have been able to implement what I learned in my own church context. What a gift the Certificate has been!’

    Beth Yates, Youth Worker
