Diocese of Derby Growing Younger Team

Our Diocesan Vision is that the Kingdom of God is good news for all, and that fundamentally includes Children, Young People and Families.

A key priority of our Parish Support Team strategy is to support and enable parishes to Grow Active Young Disciples. The Growing Younger team has been put together around this priority and a lot of our work is based around the national Church of England movement that is Growing Faith.

Growing Faith is the movement that exists to change the culture of the Church of England, so that everyone instinctively puts children, young people and families at the heart of all the ministry and mission of the Church.

Growing Faith involves churches, schools and households working together to help children, young people and families have life in all its fullness.

As a diocese we are adopting Growing Faith as the basis for our strategic plans to grow younger.
