What About Money?
Category:Ministry Trainees are students/volunteers. The focus of their time is the learning and experience they gain and will take into their own future ministry. Financial arrangements vary from church to church. Usually, they will therefore receive a training grant/bursary from the church to which they are attached, which is enough for them to live on for the year. In some cases, they may need to raise some of their own support. In many cases churches will provide accommodation, living with a family or sharing a flat with other trainees.
The SGP also operates a Bursary Scheme to help churches with the costs of supporting a trainee. If you are a Church thinking of appointing a Ministry Trainee but unable to fund the full cost then you can apply for a Bursary from the SGP. You can find further details below. The deadline for applications for 2020 is the first week of June 2020 and you can download an application form here.
