MENU Routes Ordination Training Training men and women for ordination in the Church of England is at the heart of what St Mellitus College does. Our approach to training blends rich theological study with on-the-ground ministry experience. Ordinands spend part of the week studying with us and the rest of their time embedded in a local church or mission placement. This provides a brilliant grounding for your ministry beyond college, as you learn to integrate what you’re learning about God and his kingdom with the places and people you are serving. Each ordinand is guided through this with a training supervisor in their local context. There are full-time and part-time pathways for ordinands at St Mellitus College, but however you study your training will always be rooted in this approach. Both full-time and part-time ordinands also regularly gather together from across the country for College residentials. These are inspiring times of worship, learning and spiritual growth, as you build friendships with your fellow students. This community is also a fundamental part of your formation as a priest. As our ordinands journey through training together, they discover what God is doing through his people up and down the land. We learn both from each other’s experiences and from the diverse traditions which make up the St Mellitus College community. There’s so much life and freedom here, there is this continuous pattern that everyone is learning and working together.
