OuR Story
WE’RE ABOUT SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE TRANSFORMED BY JESUS AND REACHING THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
We exist to see the community of the greater Crumlin area transformed by the love of Jesus. This, we believe is the basis for a thriving community.
We serve the community by helping young people reach their full potential and by introducing them to Jesus who can transform their lives.
We are passionate about young people and our faith.
These passions drive us to deliver quality, long-term, incarnational youth work in the community, in the centre and in schools and in churches to engage, encourage and empower young people to reach their full potential in Christ.
Since opening in 2018, we have engaged with over 700 children and young people through detached, Drop-In, Summer Schemes, Community Work, NOMAD Cage Football, Schools work and engagement with the local churches.
Our centre-based programmes currently operate out of St. John’s Halls (5 Lurgan Road, Crumlin, BT29 4QA).
Our Values
Our Christian faith underpins our youth work. We are compelled by God to respond to the needs of young people in our communities, believing that they are made in God’s image and praying for the miraculous transformation of their lives.
Our response to the young people we meet is fuelled by the following values:
We are committed to creating time and space for young people, prioritising presence over programmes.
We are committed to building consistent and intentional relationships of depth with young people which develop over the long-term. We also affirm the value of long-term consistency with families and communities.
We are committed to demonstrating a love towards young people that is characterised by patience, compassion and respect. Such love creates the foundation of belonging.
We are committed to seeing the worth in every young person, communicating this through our words and deeds until young people see their own life as significant and valuable.
We are committed to helping young people discover and achieve their incredible potential, consistently speaking hope over their futures.
We are committed to youth work which is marked by integrity, honesty and transparency, valuing the trust that is placed in us by young people.
