Welcome to the Harrogate School of Theology & Mission

Harrogate School of Theology & Mission was launched to develop excellent theological and biblical training that is open to all. Our programme takes place on one Saturday morning a month between September and April, alternating between live lectures and seminars, alongside a new weekly small group study group working through John’s gospel over 6 months.

Lectures

Lectures delivered live and in person by well qualified speakers who are skilled in communicating their message and passionate about its relevance for today, and include breakfast beforehand and time for Q&A afterwards. Lectures are usually held at St Mark’s Church, Harrogate and also available on Zoom.

Seminars

Seminars are in person biblical studies sessions, either based on video presentations by leading theologians, or with a live local speaker who is an expert in their subject. The seminars start with breakfast, and always include a group discussion. The seminars are being held at Woodlands Methodist Church, Harrogate.
