We run a number of training programmes, including the ALM course, as well as providing resource material and support for new ministry programmes. If you would like to have a conversation about children’s and youth ministry in your church, then please contact Simon Hill in the first instance, who would be delighted to talk to you.

Over the last few years, our Calling Young Disciples project has supported over 50 churches to find new ways of reaching children, young people and families in their community. We’re incredibly grateful to all who have made this project a reality and our aim is to strengthen and continue this vital ministry. We have compiled a summary of our work into this booklet: ‘Missional activities for children, young people and their families’, which is free for you to download. We hope it might inspire ministry in your church.

Two of our Mission Enablers, Helen and Sian, are continuing to support a number of parishes through to July 2023 as they increase their work with under 18s. If you would like to find out more please get in touch.

Here you can watch some highlights from our Calling Young Disciples work.
