Growing younger

The Growing Younger Programme aim is to embed growing younger (0-25 year olds) in the diocese.  Such a focus will be one way of growing younger congregations so they more accurately reflect the age profile of the population.

This programme includes:

  • To embed the importance of growing disciples amongst 0-25 year olds in all diocesan activities.
  • To view everything through the lens of children and young people.
  • To create beacon areas to achieve significant growth in numbers of 0-25-year-old disciples in areas where there is a high children and young person population – largely market towns.
  • To make resources to support growth in numbers of 0-25 year old disciples accessible to anyone.
  • To provide ideas, information and support to areas or groups that seek it, to support their long-term success and development of discipleship.
  • To facilitate five youth-focused expressions of church to be developed from secondary schools.
