What is Catalyst?
Through our Catalyst project we help local churches to grow disciple-making youth ministry.
We believe that the local church is strategically placed to reach young people with the good news of Jesus. But it’s not easy.
Whilst many churches would love to have a thriving youth ministry, we all face questions like:
- How do we connect effectively with young people outside the church?
- How can we move our young people forward in faith?
- Can we learn from and work with other churches?
- How do we recruit, train and support volunteers?
- What happens when we’ve run out of energy and ideas?
- Could we have our own youth worker?
Cambridge & District Youth for Christ is here to help. We believe that by partnering with local churches, our skills and expertise can make the greatest impact. Use the menu below to navigate the support on offer to local churches. We would love to help you to see young people’s lives changed by Jesus.
We have a whole range of Catalyst Training opportunities including:
- A year our programme
- A student youth work and theology degree pathway
- Coaching for local youth workers
- The Cambridge Youth Work Collective (a network for local Christian youth workers)
- Training sessions for local youth workers and volunteer teams around different topics including Drop Ins, Mentoring, Opening the Bible with Young People and more.
