Youth Specialists

Within the Mission Department there is a Network of Youth Specialists (our generic term for youth workers, youth ministers and youth pastors, working with a BUGB Church).  

The Youth Specialists' Network aims to provide support and relevant information to those who are working among young people in our Baptist Churches. They are members of staff teams and may or may not be accredited or recognised by the union.  They may be full or part time and doing in church or detached youth ministry.

If you are employed in youth ministry in a Baptist church and would like to be part of the Youth Specialists' Network, please complete this form and return it to the Mission Department  Youth Specialists' Network Form
