Circuit youth work
|
Youth Work in the Circuit The Ecclesall Circuit consists of eight churches, each with its own particular character and witness. The circuit includes churches in multi-cultural areas and in the affluent suburbs, churches close to the city centre and churches on the outskirts of Sheffield. The youth work offered is similarly varied.
Currently the InspYre students work both in open youth clubs and with groups where there is specific Christian teaching. Some work in Youth Church and one helps with Girls' Brigade. Another supports the Christian Union at a local comprehensive school. As relationships develop they are increasingly called on to mentor young people and to liaise between families and school. They organise trips to Christian youth events at Alton Towers and to Soul Survivor. One student is working ecumenically with both the Anglican and Methodist churches in order to develop the youth work in his area. Projects for the future include developing further links with the comprehensive schools in the circuit and increasing our outreach to unchurched young people by undertaking detached work in one area of the circuit.
