Resources for Engaging Young People and Intergenerational Discipleship & Mission – December Update
5 December 2024
To help Enable, Equip and Encourage a growing and flourishing church across Queensland, we’ll regularly share links to resources for education, worship, discipleship, and mission both with Young People, and Intergenerationally.
The resources will be a selection of practical materials, interesting articles, books and podcasts, that might be worth considering and exploring.
If you would like to connect with the Mission Accompanying Team to chat about the resources, or how we might encourage you, please reach out to Jessica.pinkerton@ucaqld.com.au
