Our Diocesan Vision is that the Kingdom of God is good news for all, and that fundamentally includes Children, Young People and Families.
A key priority of our Parish Support Team strategy is to support and enable parishes to Grow Active Young Disciples. The Growing Younger team has been put together around this priority and a lot of our work is based around the national Church of England movement that is Growing Faith.
We really hope that the Growing Younger pages give you what you need to strengthen your ministry amongst children and young people. We try to cover all areas of your ministry; celebrate your local stories and inspire new growth.
Contact us at GrowingYounger@derby.anglican.org if there is anything we can do to support you in growing a ministry or building a new ministry amongst children and young people.
What a year!

Thank you for all you are doing in your churches and communities!
