Formed exists because we believe God raises up leaders from every background - and training should be accessible to all. Hear real-life stories from Formed trainees across our two training residentials.

Each episode explores part of their story: how they came to know Jesus, and how they are now serving and leading within their local churches.

Today, we hear from Spencer . This episode includes a brief mention of suicide - Please take care while listening.

What happens when God meets someone in isolation and brings them into community?

About Formed

Formed is a specially developed training course for people coming from a background of poverty or addiction. We’re really excited to have just launched the Formed video resource in collaboration with our friends at Proximity. This is now available for free to all Jubilee+ Partner Churches or available to purchase here: www.jubilee-plus.org/formed

We are running our third Formed residential 11th -13th November 2026. Over three days together there will be time to eat, worship, share and learn together (with all teaching sessions delivered in 20-minute blocks or under). Applications close 30th June and are open to J+ Partner Churches. Email [email protected] for application details.
