Ordination Training

Wycliffe Hall offers a broad range of programmes and degrees to cater to a wide variety of needs. Wycliffe focuses on training men and women for Anglican ordination. Wycliffe staff have many years of parish experience between them and are passionate about training leaders to develop and transform local churches. In addition to the central role of our own chapel, Wycliffe students have many opportunities to gain practical ministry experience throughout the year.
