The Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) is holding a Ministry Taster Day on Saturday, 16 March 2024. The special open day is for men and women who have been thinking, and praying about, becoming ordained ministers in PCI and feel that God is leading them in this direction. The event will take place in Belfast at Union Theological College, PCI’s principal body for the training of its ministers prior to ordination.

In this BBC Radio Ulster interview, from 25 February, Audrey Carville interviews Reverend Professor David Leach, Professor of Ministry and Director of the Institute for Ministry, about the day itself. First-year ministry student, Christine Craig, and third-year student, Andrew Ferguson, also talk about their personal journeys to study for PCI’s ordained ministry, and what studying for the ministry at Union is like.
