Congratulations to the group of young people who were commissioned and recognised by The Right Reverend Roger Morris, the Bishop of Colchester for taking part in the Chelmsford Diocese Growing Young Leaders programme.
Congratulations to the group of young people who were commissioned and recognised by The Right Reverend Roger Morris, the Bishop of Colchester for taking part in the Chelmsford Diocese Growing Young Leaders programme. The commissioning service took place at Meadgate Church, Chelmsford, on the 13 March.
The Growing Young Leaders programme offers young people aged 13-18 the opportunity to engage with ministry and build leadership skills. Those on the course will spend 6 months serving in leadership in their local church community whilst connecting with other young people on the programme to discover more about leadership and to explore their vocation. The programme continues to be valuable to both our young people and our church communities.
Charley Day, Diocesan youth adviser, said:
“The commissioning service, led by Bishop Roger, was a brilliant event. We were able to celebrate with some of the young people who have taken part in the Growing Young Leaders course – thank you to all involved! We will be taking applications for the next cohort starting in September, so do be in touch if your church has young people that you think would benefit from this experience!”
The next cohort of the Growing Young Leaders programme begins in September.
