More about Exodus North West

Exodus North West

A BRIGHT HORIZON

Our heart is so big for young people, we have to cross the border to fill it.  We are leading young people closer to Jesus across a range of environments; from our tailored discipleship pathways to partnerships with schools and churches.

Life with Jesus really is the best!

More about Exodus North West

No-one who chooses to follow Jesus ever misses out!

Join our team in the North-West to reach out across Derry and Donegal and disciple young people.

Joining Matt, Ethan, Andrew and Josh you will have opportunities to:

  • LEAD MONTHLY EVENTS: Help to run our incredible events such as The Edge, Freedom and DISCIPLES,
  • WALK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE: Be a mentor, join or lead a team, connect with young people in schools through the 'Bible Reading Together' programme and participate in church events
  • DEVELOP A HEART FOR OTHERS: Put others first through serving practically and relationally.
  • HAVE FUN: Youth ministry was meant to be done with a smile, so get ready for lots of laughs along the way.


Our Emerging Leaders Internships exist to raise up and release the next generation of disciple makers and youth ministry leaders.

Do you want to impact lives of hundreds of young people?

        Develop your leadership skills?

                Grow personally and spiritually? 

                         Work alongside a team of youth ministry leaders?
