“Churches in the UK need to address leadership development so that they can develop ongoing and meaningful mission into their communities. I see DNA as an excellent resource for churches who want to make a real investment into their own people – leadership development and mission are hallmarks of all that DNA do.”

The Revd Paul Bayes

National Mission and Evangelism Adviser, Church of England

Welcome to DNA

DNA is unique! We will provide you with a life-altering "hot house" year through which you will be radically discipled in the context of church for a life of service to Jesus and being an agent for His kingdom.
  • serving churches
  • developing leaders
  • making 21st century disciples

 

 
DNA is passionate about ...
  • being your year in with God, not a year out. DNA runs October-August
  • being risky, radical and life changing
  • serving 18 year olds upwards, with no upper age limit (we've trained people in their 60s!)
  • faith in action; what you'll learn is what you'll do
  • equipping you for church based leadership
  • developing you for the workplace
  • your development in character, skills and understanding
  • dependence on the person and power of the Holy Spirit in and through you
  • providing an accredited programme through the National Open College Network
  • relational, non religious Christianity; it's fun!
 
It works!
 
DNA serves in partnership Amor Ministries, the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Fresh Streams, Pioneer, the Scottish Network Churches, Urban Saints and YMCA London South West.
