In many churches across Bristol, youth ministries are critically under-resourced, leaving young people without the guidance and community they need. While a strong majority of churches run children’s ministries—80% of smaller churches (under 50 people) and 99% of larger ones (over 150 people)—youth ministries are far less common. Only 50% of smaller churches and 89% of larger churches offer programs specifically for youth aged 11-18.
The need becomes even more pressing when we look at the availability of volunteers. While 7% of churches have no children and 14% have no youth aged 11-18, even among those with young attendees, support is lacking. Seven percent of churches have children but no volunteers for them, and a striking 26% have youth but lack dedicated volunteers.
Additionally, over 40% of small churches feel that their youth work isn’t making the impact they hope for, compared to 22.5% who express similar concerns about children’s ministries.
What is the Catalyst Collective?
A group of paid youth leaders who commit monthly to coaching each other, growing stronger together so more young people’s lives are changed by Jesus.
Müllers Church Partners who employ a youth worker for 8 hours a week or more are asked to give a small monthly gift of their youth worker's time to serve the wider city of Bristol. As part of this, we will facilitate peer coaching partnerships between Müllers Church Partners across the city, with a particular focus on supporting churches in areas of higher deprivation.
