Investing in leaders. Strengthening youth groups.
At Urban Saints, we believe that strong youth groups begin with strong leaders. We're committed to walking with youth leaders, helping them grow in confidence, character, and skills so they can lead well and disciple young people with lasting impact.
The Call to Lead
"Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care... not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." - 1 Peter 5:2-3
Leadership is more than running programmes or managing teams. It's about vision, integrity, and walking alongside young people in ways that point them to Jesus. When youth leaders grow, groups grow - and young lives are transformed.
Our Focus
We're developing specific resources and opportunities to strengthen leadership within youth groups. This will include:
- Training - through Westbrook Academy, with courses and sessions designed to sharpen leadership skills.
- Resources - practical tools to help leaders manage, plan, and disciple effectively.
- Community - opportunities to connect with other leaders, share wisdom, and grow together.
Community Now
We believe leadership is best shaped in community. In the future, we plan to host in-person gatherings - nationally and regionally - where youth leaders can connect, learn from one another, and discover fresh levels of support on the journey.
For now, you can connect through our active Facebook group - a space to share, learn, and walk the leadership journey side by side.
