Jannali Ministry Apprenticeship Program (JMAP)
The Vision
The gospel of Jesus Christ is for the whole world. At Jannali Anglican Church we seek not only to reach those around us, but to “impact the nations”.
JMAP invests time, money and ministry effort in suitable young men and women to prepare them to leave Jannali to serve Christ in other places.
The aim is to send godly and competent gospel workers to be evangelists, church planters, pastors, chaplains and missionaries for a new generation.
The Program
Using the “MTS” model, apprentices receive personal instruction and coaching from experienced ministers. The training is full time and normally over two years.
The heart of the training is practical ‘hands on’ ministry, built around prayer, the Bible and love for people. This is ideal preparation for formal theological study, and also a chance to ‘test the water’ before diving into a long term commitment.

Past JMAP Apprentices
Hear what our past apprentices have to say about their JMAP training:
Meagan Bartlett
Apprentice: 2010-2011

"JMAP gave me a lot of experience in different areas of ministry whilst also knowing I had the full support of the church staff. It was a great preparation for Bible College."

 Chris Overhall
Apprentice: 2006-2007
Assistant Minister, St Thomas' Anglican, Cranebrook"Ministry training at Jannali was great! I was given first hand experience and training in serving Christ and his people. It helped confirm that I wanted to serve in full-time ministry long term."
 Lindsay Wagner
Apprentice: 2006-2007Working: Speech and Language Therapist, Central London, UK
"The apprenticeship program achieved exactly its intention for me - it enabled me to take 2 years off from secular work to think seriously about full time ministry. Being included in the staff team, working in the church and assisting the Chaplain at Danebank Anglican Girls School enabled me to experience teaching the bible in different contexts, providing pastoral care to women and being part of the staff team. I've returned to work as a Speech Therapist having been able to make an informed choice about full time ministry."
