Chaplaincy Matters.

Chaplaincy brings a consistent, regular, intentional Christian presence into school. Chaplaincy creates space for children and young people to explore faith, reflect on their experiences, and speak to someone in a time of need.

What if every school had a chaplain? Find out how you could help us get there: www.cyocolchester.org.uk/support

"You don't have to be small with your feelings here" Year 4 student

A powerful Prayer Space at St James the Great this week full of positive conversations and moments of encounter.

One student asked if they could borrow a Bible as they felt to read Psalm 91 to a friend. Other students considered who Jesus might be for them. Students prayed for peace, released forgiveness, and spent time "casting their cares on Him who cares for you."

"Well sir, I think peace is knowing it's going to be OK even if it doesn't look like it" said a Year 8 student, which opened up a fantastic conversation about finding peace.

Before Easter the team from New Growth Ministry, one of our Mission Partners, delivered a fantastic prayer space themed around peace and shalom. Over 200 students explored praying for peace in different spheres of life - inner peace, peace in our communities and schools, peace across the world, and what peace with God could look like.

Prayer Spaces in Schools are hugely impactful and provide a moment to pause, reflect and connect.

Chaplaincy Matters. We believe every child and young person deserves time to be listened to, space to reflect, and the opportunity to explore faith.

Our chaplains are on the ground in 10 schools across Colchester every week, helping students grow in hope, life, and faith. Whether it’s finding relief through a "Forgiveness Stone" or seeing academic grades improve because their mental wellbeing is supported—chaplaincy changes lives.

Our vision is to see chaplaincy in every school in Colchester.

With your support, we can make that a reality. Click below to find out how you can stand with us:
