Children and Young People Foundation Training

If you’ve ever felt called to support children, young people, and families in your church but weren’t sure where to start, or if you’re already involved and want to grow in confidence, join the one-day Children and Young People (CYP) Foundations training! Held in a church near you, CYP Foundations is designed to equip you with the tools and support you need to step into or grow in children’s, youth, and families ministry.

Foundations for Creation Care
Tuesday’s, 6:30-8pm (Online, multiple dates available)
Creation care – what’s it all about? In this 90-minute session we’ll explore why our faith calls us to care for God’s world, and how churches can take both big and small steps to make a difference. Together, we’ll consider how churches can faithfully respond to the climate and nature crisis, why climate justice matters for Christians today, and how we can take practical, hopeful action.
Mission Action Planning (MAP) Foundation Training
Tuesday’s, 2pm-3pm (Online, multiple dates available)
We run monthly Mission Action Planning (MAP) Foundation training sessions to equip and enable you to run and facilitate a MAP away day with your church. Our training sessions take place on a Tuesday afternoon or Thursday evening.
Registration and details.
Foundations for Social Action
Tuesday’s, 6:30pm-8pm (Online, multiple dates available)
Social action and social justice can seem overwhelming. Where do we start? And what do we focus on?
In fact, social action can begin with really simple acts of relationship. Sharing a cup of tea with your neighbour or praying for your local area can be just as powerful for social action as volunteering at a food pantry.

Starting New Things
Tuesday’s, 7:30pm-9:30pm (Online, multiple dates available)
Do you feel called to pioneer new things but don’t know where to start? Would you like to give your mission or outreach activity a boost, or would you like to develop your fresh expression further and want to learn more?
This two hour foundation-level training session will help you explore simple, effective and practical ways to pioneer Fresh Expressions and new worshipping communities amongst your friends, family and neighbours.
