What We Do

20Schemes

At 20schemes, our desire is to see Scotland’s housing schemes transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ through the revitalisation and planting of gospel-preaching churches, ultimately led by a future generation of indigenous church leaders.

We believe that building healthy, gospel preaching churches in Scotland’s poorest communities will bring true renewal to Scotland’s schemes. LEARN MORE

20schemes is a ministry of Niddrie Community Church (Edinburgh, Scotland) in partnership with 20schemes Incorporated, an integrated auxiliary of Bardstown Christian Fellowship (Kentucky, USA). Niddrie Community Church is the Scottish headquarters of 20schemes.

Ragged School of Theology

The Ragged School of Theology (a campus of Vocational Bible College, Australia) aims to provide Christian ministry training that suits those who learn best practically and actively. The Certificate IV in Christian Ministry and Theology is offered in year 1 with Diploma and Advanced Diploma qualifications available in years 2 and 3.

Training focuses on what you can do rather than what you have read and how many words you have written.

Courses are delivered in Edinburgh, Scotland at Niddrie Community Church through a blend of small discussion groups and include a ministry placement in a local church. Assessments mimic ministry activities with presentations, simulations, reports, and portfolios. LEARN MORE
