Launchpad is an informed, practical and hopeful project that teaches church leaders how they can initiate youth work in their church.
The course is designed to give church leaders the insights, strategies and confidence they need to start youth work from scratch, taking small steps toward beginning some form of youth ministry. Piloted with the Capital Youth programme in the Diocese of London (in 2017), more than 500 clergy have now completed the course across 18 dioceses.
Over five two-hour sessions, Launchpad offers expert, insightful teaching on youth culture, case studies of different types of youth work, and guidance on how to build a team of volunteers. Participants complete simple exercises that build into a concrete strategy.
Partnering with individual dioceses, Launchpad works with expert Facilitators to offer coaching to clergy, helping them to see possibilities that arise through innovation, informed strategy, and a renewed vision for youth work. The focus is on discipleship and creating spaces which nurture spiritual growth, not just on growing numbers.
A sixth session provides the chance for the wider church to then engage with the project and find the confidence and momentum to put a strategy into action.
