Dr Krish Kandiah

In an age of increased fear and anxiety about migration and cultural diversity, how can we make sure every young person—regardless of background—feels truly at home?

 This seminar explores culture, welcome, and race with a focus on the power of welcome and its impact on children in our communities.

We’ll unpack the biblical call to welcome the stranger, challenge barriers to belonging, and explore practical ways to foster inclusion in ministry with under 18s.

Join us for an interactive session that will equip and inspire you to build ministries that reflect the radical hospitality of Jesus—where every young person finds a place to belong.

Most children’s and youth workers want to include children of all abilities and needs in what they do, but many struggle to make this a reality. There are many different kinds of additional needs, and each one, each child or young person, needs thinking about and planning for carefully. It can be hard for children’s and youth workers to navigate the right path through this sometimes difficult and complex area; being caring, inclusive and supportive to each child or young person (and their families), while not losing focus on the needs of the rest of the group.

This is an area that can be confusing and challenging to many of us who are responsible for looking after children and young people who have additional needs. How can parents, churches and children’s/youth workers not only understand more about the children and young people we are working with, but also change the way we work with them so to be more inclusive and create belonging for all?

What?! For as long as children feel like guests in their parent’s church, they look forward to leaving. 

So we’re asking ourselves… how can we enable every single one of us, of every age, to discover that we are vital, irreplaceable members of the team.

Join the conversation about growing church for all-ages in ways that actually work for all ages. 
Because, if church isn’t really all-age, is it really church?  

Emily Lancaster & Jake Drake

This seminar will be a practical guide to help you lead and teach young people well, so they grow to maturity as disciples.

Tom Clark & Rita Yoe

We want our churches to be places where all young people experience welcome, and where they learn to extend this to others as they grow in their faith. But it’s easier said than done young people are faced with more division, polarisation, and unhealthy conflict than ever before, in their day to day lives and online.

How can we create spaces where young people can engage in healthy disagreement, listen deeply to those who are different from them, and navigate the divisions of our world with courage?

The Difference course is a resource that explores following Jesus in a messy, hurting, and divided world. Join members of the Difference team for conversation about building a group culture that promotes growth and relationship instead of polarisation and division.

This session will include the opportunity to sample some exercises from the Difference course for youth groups.
