Do you have a church or parish role that involves working directly with either children or young people & their families?
Please follow this link (click here), which will take you to a screen that will ask you to enter and submit some details.
The Diocesan office staff actively seek to support all our parish and church colleagues (both paid and unpaid) working with children or young people & their families and we'd love you to let us know if you do.
We may already hold your details, and if you receive emails from us, the chances are that we do, but if you are not sure, we ask that you please take a few minutes to provide us with some contact and role details so we can stay in touch.
The Diocese of Ely is passionate about promoting and developing good work with children, young people and their families.
Children are spiritual beings with their own thoughts and feelings about God. Our role is to support, nurture and encourage them as they grow to a full and mature faith in Christ and to help them find their place to serve in the church community. As we seek to support children we will engage with their families, offering support for them to develop faith practices in the home that enable everyone in the family 
to grow and flourish as they learn from each other. In Matthew 18:3 Jesus challenges adults to become like little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Children and young people often lead the way in growing and developing in faith.
