The Story So Far...
Across Maghera, Magherafelt and Cookstown, 5000+ young people attend secondary school each day. In the Autumn of 2024, we began to ask; could we do something bold and new to reach young people in this community?
Standing with local churches is central in our approach to youth ministry, and so we set off by building our understanding of the area and connecting with church leaders. During this time we worked in 4 local schools, contributed to events and set up an Exodus Team.
Through this process, we've become convinced that Mid-Ulster is where God is leading us, and we are now pressing on.
What's Happening Now?
We're pressing on with our plans to establish Exodus in Mid Ulster. At present we are:
- Hiring for a full-time Area Leader
- Developing plans to open a new centre for young people in Magherafelt
- Launching opportunities for young people, including schools programmes, Teams and the Disciples Programme (see below)
