What’s coming up

Streetreach – August 17-19

We are so excited to take to the streets once again in Summer 2026 as Streetreach returns to the Connor Youth programme. Streetreach is the Diocesan youth mission opportunity that provides a space for young people to step out of their comfort zones through practical service, prayer, evangelism, and running a Kids Club.  

Streetreach provides a space to disciple young people in Connor Diocese by offering a safe environment to develop in mission and evangelism, the opportunity to raise up and develop young leaders for mission and ministry, and a catalyst within parish communities in the diocese to facilitate long-term mission development.  At its heart, Streetreach gives young people an opportunity to serve the local church, and this year we are very excited to partner with St Columba’s, Derryvolgie, to serve the community in this area of Lisburn. 

August 17-19 – St Columba’s, Derryvolgie

Youth events coming up in Connor Diocese

For information on youth activities, please contact Diocesan Youth Officer Dave Armstrong at davidarmstrong@connordiocese.org.

Equip Training Events 

Equip training events are a way to come together to learn and discuss some key topics that will help build our church families and equip us in serving young people.  These events are not only for youth workers and volunteers but will be really beneficial to anyone in your church who has a heart for the next generation.  This includes church leaders, vestry members, Sunday School teachers, parents, grandparents, and anyone passionate about helping young people find life in Jesus.  

Young People and Mental Health

Jen Christie will help us understand what some of the big topics regarding young people and mental health are and how the Church can meet their needs.
