Catalyst: training for children's and youth ministry

Catalyst is a training course for anyone with a heart for ministry with children, young people and families.
The programme includes 5 sessions through local hubs in Hull, York and Middlesborough, alongside a free residential weekend at the Hayes Conference Centre in early 2027.
The induction day for all hubs takes place in Leeds in September 2026.
Evaluation of the Catalyst training programme has highlighted that where Children & Young People’s Workers have had access to the training, more children and families have started attending church. Participants are made to feel welcome when they join the programme and those who may have concerns about going back to learning are supported.
For more information email Angela Brymer or Emma Anderton.
