Missional Youth Church Network

“Fresh Expressions are new forms of church that emerge within contemporary culture and engage primarily with those who don’t ‘go to church”

Mission Shaped Church Report 2004

Missional Youth Church Network was established to help people working with young people to reach those outside the church. Our mission is to enable local schools, churches and community projects to work together to reimagine church with young people. Part of what we do is to facilitate a Learning Community in order that youth leaders and volunteers can come together for training, encouragement, prayer and support as they build for the future.

Fresh Expressions is excited to be partnering with MYCN as there are so many areas of overlap with our work and we share the same fresh expression values of missional, contexual, formational and ecclesial.
