Wirral YFC are involved in numerous activities and projects in partnership with various organisations, churches and statutory bodies. As well as these we currently have 8 main projects which we are working on.

3 Area Projects

We have 3 area projects with a full-time member of staff overseeing each: Zoe Povall in North Wirral, Sarah Hockley in West Wirral and Rob Pitts in East Wirral. Our areas projects :

• Deliver high quality lessons, assemblies and conferences in schools.
• Support young people in schools with outreach activities, lunchtime and after school Pulse (Formerly CU) groups and extra-curricular sessions.
• Work alongside the local church to mentor, nurture and disciple young people.
• Play a key strategic role in the co-ordination of youth work provision in their areas.

2 SDA’s

Specialist Discipleship Academies or SDA’s for short are Wirral YFC’s response to our desire to work alongside the local church in the nurturing and disciplining of young people.

Local churches do an amazing job at nurturing and discipling young people and Wirral YFC have some skills, experience and training in particular areas which we can throw in to the mix. We currently have two flagship SDA’s, our Romance Academy and our Worship Academy. Please click on the links for more information on those.

Pulse

Wirral YFC are involved in around 15 Christian Unions across the Wirral and the main aim is to support Christian young people in schools and provide non-Christians with an opportunity to explore the Christian faith.

We have found in recent years that the term CU or Christian Union has become outdated and gives the false impression that these sessions are exclusive to a ‘union’ of Christians. With this in mind we have put a strategy together which we believe will have a very positive effect on schools through supporting young Christians as they put their faith into action whilst still providing a place for others to find out more if they wish. The name for this new strategy is Pulse.

If you would like to get involved in a Pulse group or to find out more information please contact us.

Catalyst

In some ways Catalyst is a series of events aimed at gathering young people from Wirral and further afield in one place to worship and pray together… But that is only the start. Catalyst the event is just one part of a strategic response to a burning desire to see young men and women of God rise up and transform what it means to live in the Wirral.

Catalyst was born out of a longing to see God do something awesome (in its true sense) among the young people in Wirral. Our vision is to inspire and encourage young Christians to seek after Gods heart and His purpose for their lives and we wish to work alongside local churches as we together seek to raise up a generation of passionate worshippers who stand firm on God’s Word and value the power of prayer. Our hope is that Catalyst will also support and enhance the great things that are already happening throughout the Wirral and provide an opportunity for youth leader networking.
