Are you looking for meaning and purpose in your Christian faith?

Are you ready for to be challenged by Jesus’ call on your life?

Do you want to make a difference in this world?

{Disciple} aims to train young people aged 16+ to be capable and equipped followers of Jesus, ready for whatever direction life is leading them. 

Whether you are at college, working, or taking a gap year, the {Disciple} course will fit alongside your work or higher education.

​

Meeting up with other {Disciples} around the North West 6 times a year, you’ll be encouraged and inspired in your faith, and challenged to go and make a difference in the places you live, study and work.

​

There’ll be time to think and talk about the important things in life like identity, health, love, money, social justice, church, mission …and more, and thinking about what impact your faith in Jesus has upon them. {Disciple} will give you valuable tools for life for when you’re ready to leave home, and set you up for whatever career or vocation is coming next.

​

You’ll be trained to serve on the NWBA Impact Weekend in October as a Young Leader, and have the opportunity to step out of the boat on an outward bound activity weekend in the summer.

​

The {Disciple} programme is FREE* and upon completion you’ll receive certification from Northern Baptist College, which can be added to your CV.

​

If you are interested in enrolling, fill in the enrolment form (below) and contact Jonny Hirst (NWBA Youth Networker) jonnyh@nwba.org.uk

 

*There may be a cost towards the outward bound activity weekend
