Growing Younger as a Church (NON CLERGY BOOKINGS ONLY)

An exploration of the `Growing Young` research and findings of the Fuller Institute and the Church of England’s `Rooted in Church` report:

Based on ground breaking research with over 250 congregations, ‘Growing Young` provides a strategy any church can use to involve and retain teenagers and young adults. It profiles innovative churches that are engaging 15-29 year olds, and as a result are growing: spiritually, emotionally, missionally and numerically. Packed with both research and practical ideas, `Growing Young` shows pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the whole church.

The intended outcome is that attendees will have a good understanding of the findings of the research and will have begun to think about how they can apply the principals in their own local settings.

Refreshments will be provided, but please bring your own lunch
