We're passionate about supporting the 60 employed CYF workers that are connected with the churches in our association. We also want to walk with all the churches and their volunteers as they seek to be Good News through many different ways including toddler groups, schools work, discipleship groups, youth clubs, Messy Church. Finally we never want to lose sight of the 95% of children and young people who are not in our churches and who God loves deeply and would love it if they got to know Him better.
Training Courses
There are many different training opportunities for those that work with children, young people and families; here are a few of them. Please do get in touch if this is something you'd appreciate praying about and talking through with someone.
