Derry and Raphoe have created a Youth Ministry Checklist is available for anyone to sign up for. With the new term beginning and our groups starting back up, leaders may want some guidance.

This handbook will provide a guide for new groups starting up and are unsure where to begin, leaders taking over an existing group and want to check everything is in order or even groups that have been going a while and want to make sure they're still on top of everything.

You will receive an email with a copy of the handbook and Google Drive links to examples of all the paperwork needed.

Who is it for?
Faith Practices is for young people who are open to learning more. It focuses on practical activities and so could be helpful with a younger group or young people who are less experienced in church.

What will it look like?
A 10-15 minute slot in your youth programme. The slot will include a portion of Scripture to focus on, key points for the teaching and an activity to do together.
