What is WDT all About?
Who is the Discipleship Team for?
WDT is open to people age 18-30. It is ideal for those looking for a gap year between school and Uni or between Uni and the workplace. Or you might be exploring a sense of call to leadership and ministry, but you are early in that journey. WDT is an opportunity for those with capacity to give some time to church and deepen in faith.
Where does WDT happen?
Woodlands Church Family has multiple sites across the city of Bristol that you can choose from.
What time is required?
WDT requires a 2-3 day commitment, with core activities happening on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as serving on a Sunday team.

What Will the Time Include?
Local Ministry Placement
You’ll choose a ministry area to serve in such as children, youth, worship, tech, leadership, social action, or a geographical congregation (Southmead, Sea Mills, City Centre, Henbury, Easton or South Bristol).
Practical Training
You’ll receive practical theology, disipleship and ministry training provided by the Woodlands Church Family senior leaders. You will be part of a team which will meet regularly and will have times of reflection and retreat together.
Overseas Mission
There will be an overseas ministry trip in the summer term to work alongside one of our Global Partners, who are based in places like Peru, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

What does WDT cost?
There is no cost for being on the team but you will have to find and fund your own accommodation and living expenses. There are a number of Christian Community houses in Bristol that we can connect interested people with.
