Simon Burin (2006-2008)

Youth Pastor at Dorchester Community Church

Moorlands has supported me, and still does support me, in ways I will never be able to express. The training at Moorlands has established a solid biblical foundation in which to begin my ministry.

Jon & Elora Forman (2004-2008)

Outreach Workers in the Usk Valley, Wales

We learnt, through the mixture of practical and academic work offered through placements and different ministry experiences, that ministry is spiritual, practical, academic and relational, and that when these four aspects are combined properly, we can truly minister in an effective way. To sum it up, we went to Moorlands expecting to train for ministry and learn about God, but we came out changed people because of the freedom Moorlands gives for God to work in the lives of students.

Louise Bird (2004-2007)

Support Worker

'My time at Moorlands gave me the tools and time that I needed to find my purpose and calling in God. Without the foundational grounding that I got at Moorlands, I know I wouldn’t have had the preparation needed for the work that God has brought me in to. I am now a Support Worker in Bournemouth YMCA - giving holistic support and guidance to those who struggle most in the community. It’s an intense environment that requires me to remain close to Him 'I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength, Philippians 4.13”

Dom Bird (2003-2007)

Associate Pastor, Sunnyhill Community Church, Poole

'Moorlands College was the place where God called me into Ministry. He intervened in my life and started equipping me to build His Kingdom, brick by brick. I will always look back on my days at Moorlands with fond memories as it was the place that God began a work (Plus I got myself a wife...result!)'

Emma Darby (1999-2004)

Youth Pastor, Twynham Church for the Community, Christchurch

Moorlands prepared me for ministry in so many ways: knowledge, experience, faith and confidence.

Mike Yates (2000-2003)

Community Project Worker, for Impact in Christchurch

Moorlands gave me the tools, the learning and understanding to be a professional Youth and Community Worker; it also helped me to go deeper in my relationship with God, helping me to allow Him to be my path so that He directs my way. Through my time at Moorlands I have learnt so much, and it’s not always the big things, but also the little things that are taught which are important. Helping you know your Bible, and also, just as importantly, helping you keep to deadlines and manage your time well. This has helped me greatly in my current role as a community project worker for a charity called Christchurch Impact, a multi agency, multi church detached youth project in Christchurch, working with young people who socialise on the streets of our town.

Jo and Steve Taylor (2000-2003)

Jo is Youth Coordinator for Tearfund and Steve is a School Youth Mentor

It has been a privilege to be part of the Moorlands community and know that our fellow graduates and former students are still on a journey with us encouraging and strengthening us in our ministry and marriage.

The value of Moorlands’ training has stayed with me and I feel that it was the personal touch that the whole faculty offered that affected me the most.

Felix Muchimba (1997-1999)

Moorlands College helped me prepare adequately and effectively with the relevant skills and knowledge I needed for training Church leaders and pastors in my country.
