Youth Leader Session: Helping Young People Love the Church Without Ignoring Its Brokenness

Monday August 10, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

The Theatre

[This session is for leaders]\
Church scandals. Leadership failures. Church hurt. Many young people are wondering whether the Church is still worth trusting - many youth leaders are too. How do we acknowledge real hurt without surrendering to cynicism? Together we'll explore how to help young people love Jesus and His Church with a resilient faith that can withstand disappointment and discover a vision of the Church that's honest about its brokenness, confident in its hope, and worth loving, trusting, and helping to build.
