Our Vision

• To work towards every child and young person having a life-enhancing encounter with the Christian faith and the person of Jesus Christ.
• To recognise and welcome the capacity of children and young people to transform the church and the world
• To provide support and development for all those working with children and young people

Training

Please contact Steve if you would like to organise a training event:

“What Every Volunteer Youth Worker Should Know” - a 9 week course dealing with everything a volunteer will need to know when working with children and/or young people.	‘The Key’ – a course for local churches (designed by Bristol and Bath & Wells dioceses). It’s Level 1 and easy to access for busy volunteers.	regenerate - Steve works in partnership with Scripture Union to organise this larger training event which focusses on particular issues, eg, Interfaith (with BCDD), the ‘Will You Make a Difference’ initiative, discipling young people (with Cliff College) and resourcing churches to make the most of the opportunities the Olympics will provide.
