Beeston Free's Ministry Training Scheme is for 1 or 2 years. It is designed to provide training and practical experience for those considering full time Christian ministry. Trainees' time will be divided into three areas: teaching input, ministry experience, and practical service. Each trainee will attend the Midlands Ministry Training Course for one day each week. This will provide the theological teaching input for the year, and will be supplemented by fortnightly teaching sessions with the ministers at Beeston Free. Apprentices will also attend the 9:38 Apprentices Conference in January.
