Colin Stoodley from Pines Training Centre

Colin StoodleyThis morning I had coffee with Colin Stoodley at North Lakes Shopping Centre. Colin’s recently started as Associate Director with Pines Training Centre in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast, working two days a week there. The rest of the time he’s continuing as Pastor at Rochedale Baptist. What he didn’t tell me is that he’s a talented songwriter, theologian and recording artist (see his profile at Adore Ministries). He has a background with the Salvation Army in NSW. He moved up to Brisbane and planted a church in New Farm with the Baptists before moving to his present roles.

Pines Training Centre is offering discipleship and mission training courses at Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels:

Advance Diploma of Planting & Growing Vibrant Churches
Assessment & Workplace Training
Certificate IV in Planting & Growing Vibrant Churches
Diploma of Planting & Growing Vibrant Churches

Colin and I this morning talked through the possibilities of cooperation between Seeds of Hope (Church Planting Movement in Uniting Church in Australia Queensland Synod) and Pines Training Centre. As always, this begins with strong relational networks. I’m keen to talk to graduates who’ve connected up with Uniting Church missional communities.

    Thanks for your article on Patterns which came through AACTV. I received it when I came back from a retreat. At the retreat God’s question to me was “Will you come to me in prayer so I can empower you?” Your Patterns article confirmed that God has ordained ways of receiving his blessings and empowering and we should not expect results if we don’t adhere to them.
