Crusaders/Urban Saints have been equipping thousands of volunteers and youth workers across the UK and Ireland for well over 100 years. With the establishment of Westbrook Academy under the leadership of Dr Keith Foster, we are now extending our training into broader streams.
The Westbrook Academy empowers individuals to maximise their impact in frontline roles across church, community, and charity-based settings. With urban mission at the heart of our vision, we provide training that is relevant, contemporary, and accessible to both volunteers and paid team members.
Our offerings include:
- Free webinars and short courses
- Professional, accredited programs
- Higher education (HE) opportunities
Whether you're starting out or looking to advance your ministry, The Westbrook Academy is here to support your journey.
