Growing Young is a learning programme for a small team from your congregation to engage with six principles that have come from research conducted by the Fuller Youth Institute. They studied churches that were attracting younger demographics and have rolled out the learning worldwide. Growing Young has been running in the Church of Scotland for almost five years and a number of congregations have reported positively on the benefits of receiving the monthly input and coaching. Please see the video under 'click' at the top right of the post.

This course is for any church that wants to grow younger than they are, carrying the message of Jesus through warm relationships to unlock the next generation of leadership. It is a two year programme and the cost is £350 for a church per year. Some funding may be available towards this and if you wish to explore this option, please be in touch.
