Our vision for the youth programme at Spring Harvest is that young people will encounter God, be inspired by that encounter, and then go home and transform their own lives, their communities and the world! We believe this applies to ALL young people.
All Kid’s and Youth programmes at Spring Harvest have a small, dedicated team who are there to help those with additional needs to access the programme in a way that works for them. Our aim is that every young person will take a step forward in their walk with God at the event. This looks very different for each individual, and our amazing teams help to facilitate this.
