Would you like to understand youth culture and how we can respond in our churches?
Whether you have been involved in youth ministry for years, or if you are thinking of getting involved, Youthscape Essentials is the place for you. Come to learn and pray together, with a shared heart for young people.
There are 10 monthly sessions. Each includes:
- 1 practical skill to try out at the session;
- 1 insight into youth culture to explore;
- 1 area of Christian character to reflect on.
Each session begins with the voice of a young person through a specially recorded video and closes by being sent out in hopeful prayer.
