Alongside offering opportunities for young adults, we want to equip clergy and church leaders to confidently engage with this age group.
- Advice and consultation, practical guidance on starting or strengthening young adult ministry in your parish.
- Training and workshops, sessions exploring how to connect with young adults, nurture leadership, and create spaces that are welcoming.
- Resources, access to materials for discipleship, worship, mission, and spiritual formation tailored for 18 - 30s.
- Mentoring and peer support, opportunities for clergy and lay leaders to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other.
- Ongoing partnership, our diocesan team is here to walk with you as you develop local vision and initiatives.
