Disciples Together

Disciples Together report cover. Click to view PDF/What is Disciples Together?

In 2020, our groundbreaking report Disciples Together showed a growing gulf between our work and the reality of life for young people and in the culture at large.

Disciples Together explores how we can embrace change for the benefit of God’s work in the world and outlines steps for our future ministry, and introduces five cultural shifts to help us move to where we need to be. Watch Bishop Steven introduce the report in the short film below and scroll down to download the report.

What does this mean in 2024?

It is time for a step change in how we engage with children, young people and families. We need to hear from children and young people themselves, and actively listen, partnering with them to transform their concerns, dreams, and aspirations into concrete actions.

Amplify aims to transform whispers to waves - to listen to real voices and make real change. Find out more.
