Thrive Youth Ministries is a charity based in Leamington Spa and exists to enable churches to reach out and disciple children and young people across Warwickshire & Coventry. We do this through three main areas: Mobilising the Church, Enabling healthy leaders and Investing in the next generations.
Thrive is an independent charity, dependent on the generosity of individuals and local churches.
Each year we work with over 60 different local churches through individual support and training events as well as with many children and young people connected to some of these churches. Our heart is to enable churches to be more effective and fruitful in sharing the Gospel with young people. We don't do youthwork for a church, but we will do it with them.
Thrive's vision is to see every church within our local area with a thriving youth ministry. To see our vision become a reality we realise we need to help churches with both their youthwork and their children's work. Thrive offers support to local churches to be more fruitful on reaching out to children and young people, and seeing them come to faith in Christ.
