Equipping churches and individuals to use our discipleship resources well is an important part of our work. It is important to understand the course method to use the materials most effectively.
Come Follow Me training will equip you to:
- Understand the course design and method
- Lead group discussions using the Advisor Guide
- Plan to start a course in your area
It also touches on cultural issues for believers of Muslim Background.
We highly recommend this training to anyone new to leading interactive group discussion. While an experienced group leader can run our courses without training by reading the Advisor's Guide and trying out the course, we recommend that everyone attends an Advisor Training workshop. As well as the personal benefit, this enables us to connect with you, and build a network of Come Follow Me Advisors and Facilitators around the world.
Three ways to access training
1. Live Workshops
Live training workshops are now available in a number of countries worldwide and are being translated into local languages. We believe that the face to face interaction adds a valuable extra dimension to the training. Please check with us for Advisor Trainings in your area or language.

The CFM Online Video Training Resource for small groups is now available, making advisor training widely accessible. You can host a Come Follow Me Advisor Training for 4 to 6 people in your home. This course enables churches and individuals to prepare well before running CFM especially where a live workshop is not possible.
The resource mirrors the live workshop, in four separate sessions. All the teaching and information is online in the form of video clips and information with questions for the group to interact with. It simply requires a computer or screen with internet access, and someone to host it, gather participants and print off handouts.
If you want to use this training resource please get in touch through our contact page or by emailing us.
3. Zoom-based Online Advisor Training
We also offer a Zoom-based Online Advisor Training for individuals around the world. This training consists of three or four sessions, and we expect participants to attend all the sessions in one course.

We usually run a Zoom training course each term. See the events page for upcoming zoom workshops. To register your interest, contact us on training@word.org.uk.
