WHAT WE DO
The Youth Ministry Team (YMT) was set up back in 1995. Our main purpose is to communicate the Gospel using various creative means to young people. YMT is a new, radical and prophetic organisation working with young people. We present the Gospel in a lively and effective way through the use of drama, mime, music and up-to-date multimedia equipment. We are also involved in retreat and area development work and are committed to bring young people through a process of evangelisation to a place of “belonging” and “Church”.
The Youth Ministry Team carry out various activities where we present the Gospel in a language that is most effective and appealing in today’s youth culture. We follow-up this initial proclamation with Retreats at the Youth Village and other regular events which will enable the young people to share common faith experiences, grow in faith together, and develop relationships with God and each other. Finally, we support them by responding through ministry and service in their local parishes.
VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME
Each year we gather young people from all over the world from September to July to be part of YMT’s Schools and Retreat Teams. Team Members are given training in youth ministry and creative evangelisation such as drama, movement, mime, music, multimedia and effective communication. Each Team Member receives full board, accommodation at the Youth Village and a monthly allowance.
All team members undergo training before setting out on the Mission and Retreat Programme. Throughout the year there are a variety of opportunities for training and personal development.
YOUTH VILLAGE
The Youth Village is the home of the Youth Ministry Team. It houses the international volunteers living in community and provides a variety of youth ministry opportunities across schools and parishes throughout the region. The Youth Village has recently been voted as one of 20 Centres of Excellence in Youth Ministry for its faith enriching programme across all denominations within the British Isles.
The Youth Village was blessed by Bishop Seamus Cunningham and officially opened by, celebrity duo, Ant & Dec.
