Missional Youth Church Network - Learning Community – Sat 27th Sept –
9.30am – 4pm – at the Pioneer Centre, Kidderminster & on Zoom
It’s exciting to hear of ‘quiet revival’ and stories of young people turning up at churches and groups asking questions about faith! Something amazing is happening but for these unchurched young people to take root, find faith and become disciples – we’ll need to build relationships really, really, well. Without good relationship building, youth work tends to fall apart sooner or later.
As relationships form - how we bring these relationships together as community or family is vital. Listening and involving young people, being prepared to let them help shape the church of today (as well as tomorrow) is crucial because we know God speaks through young people today…
At this learning community, we’re going to focus on: - how can we build relationships & how to form Christian community with young people as these are two building blocks to growing healthy youth work.

Young Leader stream…
At the learning community we are running a Young Leader stream!
To go alongside our new young leaders resource ‘Ignite’ we are going to have young leaders stream alongside some of our learning communities. We will listen to and involve young people as we develop the young leader's stream. In September the young people will be gathering with Jane our young leaders networker for some discussion and games, and in the afternoon doing some more exciting activities run by the pioneer centre. It would be great to have as many young people as possible. If you have any questions contact Jane on jane.henderson@churcharmy.org
Missional Youth Church Network (MYCN is part of Church Army UK) has received CofE funding to develop new worshipping communities in partnership with churches and dioceses, as part of the Growing Younger strategy. We work with over 50 projects across the country who each engage with unchurched young people and develop pathways from initial engagement to youth discipleship and worship. They enable teenagers to become young leaders and team members.
