Developing the Shape of Youth Ministry (SWYM)- 24 April 2023:
From small to large, rural to urban, denomination to denomination, each youth ministry will have their own unique vision and feel. In these sessions, Tom Clarke will help us to think about the shape of our youth ministry, exploring how we best create spaces where young people thrive in the contexts where we have been called to serve. Tom will also challenge us to consider how the shape of our youth ministry might empower young people to be confident in sharing their faith by developing a culture of peer-to-peer evangelism. Book your tickets here.
Youth, Children and Families Worker Retreat (SWYM) – 12-13 June
What were the rhythms of retreat and rest that Jesus embraced, and how might those new rhythms and practices in 2023 help ensure that our work FOR God doesn’t kill the work OF God in us? Only the Creator of your soul can heal your soul. So let’s spend 24 hours drawing close to Him and see what happens! Book your tickets here.
