Frequently asked questions
-
The Team course is a live Q and A group video meeting hosted by Counties with guest speakers. It has two sessions with a Delegates Workbook on which the course is based. Printed delegate's workbooks will be posted to the Team Leader along with a bonus resource. If you decide to start a Scheme Relationship, you will also be sent the Team Handbook. This comes with guidance and procedures to help you launch.
-
The course is live, which means you log in to the group video sessions. The sessions will not be recorded. If you miss one, you will still have access to your copies of the Delegates workbook.
-
The course primarily seeks to train a Team, so we encourage the Team Leader to invite all your team members. Lead chaplains, befrienders and helping hands team members will benefit from the gospel principles highlighted. Many of the examples focus on church issues. This is primarily because most speakers are sharing from their own experiences. However, even when we are speaking of churches, the principles apply to Neighbourhood Chaplains from any organisation or denomination.
