Crossroads has a number of men and women involved in two year ministry apprenticeships in preparation for further theological training and Christian ministry. Dave McDonald coordinates this program at Crossroads and throughout the Canberra region. Many of our pastoral team work together to provide training and supervision. Apprentices are involved in a variety of ministry contexts involving children, youth, international students, university ministry, and more. If you would like more information about supporting or being involved with the MTS program please contact Dave McDonald.
