Strategy for Young People
 |
2007 was the year in which local churches got the chance to reconsider how to work with young people. In November 2006 every congregation was sent copies of a resource booklet containing all the information required to help them work out a new plan for youth work. |
You can download a copy of this booklet below in [.pdf] or text only [.txt] formats. Please note that this is a very large file and, at 24 image-heavy page, will take some considerable time to download on a standard connection. If your system cannot receive this file easily, please email the department to request a hard copy of the booklet. You can also order some of the Strategy for Young People resources, including data cards and wrist bands, using the following order form.

iMPACT
iMPACT, formerly known as Summer Mission, is part of the work of the Mission and Discipleship Council and sees teams of trained volunteers work with children and teenagers carrying out mission work in partnership with a local Church of Scotland.
Our prayer vision is
"That the people of Scotland in all its
parts may hear clearly the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, see the life of His
Spirit among His people, and come to
know the love of God the Father."
Our main focus is to train churches for local mission by supplying for a week or two a team of experienced leaders and volunteers to present a series of mission events. By supporting, enabling and developing the capacity of the local church, typically over a partnership of up to three years, the responsibility for the planning and implementation of the mission is transferred to local leadership.
The work is co-ordinated by one of the Mission and Discipleship Regional Development Officers whose main responsibilities are in strategy, publicity, recruitment, training as well as connecting teams and churches.
