Overflow is our national training weekend for young leaders

We aim to train young leaders to serve in their local church and community. We do this through Bible teaching, worship, community building, workshops and practising spiritual disciplines. Young leaders will experience the overflow of Gods’ love for them as they learn to lead out of a deep relationship with God, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

FAQ’S

About the Event

What is Overflow?

Overflow is a weekend where we aim to train young leaders to serve in their local church and community. Our desire is that the young people will learn to lead out of a deeply rooted relationship with God and recognise that their skills, abilities and passions all come from Him. We plan to inspire young people and give them confidence to serve in their local Churches through a weekend of training focused on leadership, using Biblical models and experienced trainers. This is done through workshops, Bible teaching, panels, prayer and quiet time.

Who can come to Overflow?

Overflow is for anyone in your Churches who shows ANY sort of leadership/service potential. Young people aged from 14+ are all welcome.

Do youth leaders need to come?

Youth leaders do not need to come with their young people, they can just drop them off and we will look after them!

How many times can you go to Overflow?

Those who have been before are welcomed back. A specific continued development programme has been developed for those who come back for a 2nd and 3rd year.
