Reign Ministries is excited to announce we have a new college we are linking with for an undergraduate degree! Moorlands College will be the new home for our degree students from September.
For over 20 years, Reign Ministries has played a key role in the development of a youth pathway for an undergraduate degree with ForMission College, formerly known as Springdale College. As well as recruiting students into this programme, we were privileged to shape aspects of the youth ministry modules and overall student experience.
At the start of April, ForMission announced it was discontinuing its academic courses from September. They also explained that they had reached an agreement to integrate much of their values and legacy into Moorlands College. All current students will be offered the opportunity to apply and finish their studies with Moorlands College, earning a degree awarded by the University of Gloucestershire.
Reign Ministries has enjoyed a long partnership with ForMission College, and will miss the connection and relationships that brought. However, we are excited to invest that same energy and enthusiasm into working alongside Moorlands College. We are working closely with our students and both colleges to make this time of change and transition as smooth as possible.
After exploring the options with Moorlands College about how and where Reign Ministries and the students we have (and recruit) will fit best, we are excited to confirm we will be focussed on linking in with the Moorlands South West campus, supported by South West Youth Ministries. Moorlands College offers two youth work courses; an BA (Hons) in Applied Theology, or a BA (Hons) in Applied Theology youth and community work (JNC) (subject to sufficient student numbers).
Students will attend six residential teaching weeks each year in North Devon. They will continue to operate in a placement every week, which for many will be their home church. They will also have weekly online classes and clusters, to gain more tools and support for ministry. Reign Ministries will play a key role in supporting and delivering these clusters and coaching sessions, both in virtual and in-person capacities.
Whilst all change can be hard, tiring and sometimes very confusing, Reign Ministries is excited for the new opportunities this partnership with Moorlands College will bring, and are delighted to continue to play a role in recruiting, training and coaching more youth minsters for the UK church, who have the heart of a discipler and seek to lead disciple making ministries.

Where Is God Calling Me? I have a calling to youth ministry. But 30 years ago – I had no idea! I remember sitting in a marquee at a Christian music festival as a teenager, listening to a speaker talking about ‘Hearing God’s Call’. This was something I was wrestling with, so I figured that […]

Learning from those that have gone before you. “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” writes the wise King Solomon in Ecclesiastes. He saw that life can sometimes resemble a treadmill, where history simply repeats itself and continues in a loop. […]

After a few years of considering this move, the trustees and leadership have decided the time is right to try and sell the building we affectionately know as “the moto” (in it’s former life it was a motorcycle sales and repair shop). This building has served the charity well over many years, as a base […]
