‘Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever;
from generation to generation we will proclaim your praise.’ Psalm 79:13
Engaging with children, young people and families is one of the four key priorities in the Diocese of Durham and the diocesan team is here to help. We work alongside volunteers, employed children’s and youth leaders, clergy, school chaplains, lay ministers and others in churches, schools, the home and in the wider community.
Working with ‘Renewing Pilgrimage’, the new Diocesan priorities 2021-26, we are passionate to see more children and young people become life-long disciples of Jesus, rooted in the local church.
