“They don’t need to be entertained for an hour. They need to be seen.”
In our latest Mission Sparks episode, we explore how simple conversation spaces can transform youth ministry – even if you feel “famously awkward”. Here's just a few highlights from the epidose… some more serious than others 😀

🚨 THIS IS IT. TRAINING STARTS TOMORROW. 🚨bit.ly/4uElzbp

Tomorrow, people from across the country will gather online to be equipped, inspired, and prepared to reach young people through schools ministry.

And booking is still open… for now.

If you’ve been thinking:
💭 “Maybe I should sign up”
💭 “I’ll do it later”
💭 “I’m not sure if I’m ready”

This is your moment: bit.ly/4uElzbp

Schools are full of young people searching for hope, connection and meaning. But too often, churches and volunteers never step in because they feel unprepared or don’t know where to start.

That’s exactly why this training exists.

Our Introduction to Schools Ministry Training will give you practical tools, confidence, strategy and vision to begin making a real impact in schools.

By tomorrow evening, people who signed up will leave:
✔ Equipped
✔ Encouraged
✔ Inspired
✔ Ready to take action

The only question is whether you’ll be one of them.

📅 Wednesday 3rd June
💻 Online
⏳ Booking closes soon.
⚠️ Don’t miss this opportunity.

✨ Small time investment. Lifelong impact.

Edale – where faith grows over time

Swipe to see some moments from Edale last summer — laughter, friendship, conversations and space to grow.

One young leader who first came to Edale two years ago has just signed up again, sharing how the experience helped them grow in faith, confidence and spiritual gifting — and how they’re excited to see what God will do next.

That’s what Edale is all about. Not just a great week away, but a place where young people are nurtured, stretched and supported over time, learning how to lead, serve and follow Jesus in everyday life.

We’re looking for volunteers — especially young leaders — for Edale and our other SU holidays and missions.

If you want to invest in young people, grow in your faith and serve alongside a supportive team, we’d love you to consider joining us.
