Network Youth Church is a new way of doing and being church with young people across Cumbria today.
It’s a space which is safe and welcoming, but doesn’t shy away from the big questions of life. It’s a space which encourages confidence, participation, understanding and growth. It’s a space where young people can meet and journey together.
It’s a space that’s inclusive, where who you are is valued, and where people learn from each other. It’s a space where young people can be themselves, where community happens, real relationships are forged and where church is re-imagined in a fun, creative and modern way.
We are seeking a full-time pioneering youth worker to spearhead a new Network Youth Church initiative in the deanery that is the home to the world-famous Kendal Mint Cake.
Are you a self-starter with the ability to:
- Break new ground and form real (not fake) relationships with young people that grow into effective ministry
- Grow Fresh Expressions of Church with young people
- Support and build a team at all levels, with young leaders, volunteers and in the steering group
- Work with a local steering group and a network of agencies and churches to develop a cohesive strategy to engage young people across a diverse area
