Here at the Diocese of Salisbury, we are passionate about investing in our churches—helping you pioneer fresh ways to connect with young people while strengthening your current youth work. The Growing Younger team want to support you in creating meaningful discipleship pathways where young people can safely explore their questions, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, and live out a confident, lasting faith.
Navigating transitional years can be challenging for young people, and we are dedicated to helping you support them effectively through every stage of their journey.
