Schools represent one of the most exciting opportunities for the church in reaching and supporting the young people of this next generation. Our work was born out of partnership and continues in partnership with schools, churches and individuals who like us sense the opportunity to draw alongside young people in faith.
Research seems to indicate that half of all churches in England have little to no meaningful contact with young people in their community, whilst often also showing young people to have a keen interest in the question of faith. Leeds Faith in Schools wants to help the churches with their vision of reaching the local community, and especially it’s many young people, enabling the church across Leeds to invest in the next generation and to see church growth.
The role of our supporter churches is to be an advocate for the work of LFIS, working alongside us in encouraging and supporting the young people in the high schools your church community serves.
We believe that, if we are to successfully fulfil the pledge we have made to schools, increasing partnership with the local churches is key so as to bridge the gap that often exists between church and young people.
