Youth Ministries

It is never boring to be a young person in the Irish Mission. We have a dedicated team of pastors and volunteers who work tirelessly to provide opportunities for young people to develop their faith and experience Christian community.

Have you attended an Irish Mission summer camp? You should try it. The camp is regularly attended by more than 100 young people, with visiting speakers. Lifelong friendships are forged at this event that runs over a week. The stimulating speakers, beautiful worship experiences, adventurous activites, and plenty friends, make the camping out in tents and shared bathroom facilities worth it. The camp usually happens in August at the Portlick Scout campsite near Athlone, county Westmeath.

There are shorter weekend retreats as well. This usually happens in Belfast and in the Ballinacrow church in county Wicklow.

Once a year, over Easter we also join up with young people from Scotland and Wales for a three missions Easter retreat.

We do not only focus on big events however. Every church in Ireland have some activities for young people. Some churches are bigger than others, but even the small churches will support young people on their spiritual journey. Please make contact with the local church near you. Ask the pastor what the church is doing for young people. Become involved! Make suggestions about what you would like to see.
