Joined Up Conference 2022
STC Sheffield Nairn Street, SheffieldThe Joined Up conference is officially 'back' for 2022.! Last year we met but it was from behind our computer screens in our own homes so we are really looking forward to gathering the Joined Up family together again next year. Planned, organised and delivered in partnership with our friends at Diocese of Sheffield, Sheffield Methodist Circuit, Christian & Sheffield Schools, and the Methodist Church Yorkshire Plus Region of the Learning Network, the Joined Up Conference is an exciting and engaging day for anyone who ministers with children, young people and families in churches and schools. Whether you are an employed worker, willing volunteer, minister or vicar, or simply someone who is interested in finding out more there will be something on offer for you to take away and use in your own ministry!

In this session you will have the opportunity to hear from two youth and community work practitioners with experience of youth work in education settings: Ruth Watson is a URC Minister. She currently exercises a Special Category Ministry MediaCityUK Church and Community Hub in Salford Quays. This is a partnership between Oasis and the URC. Her role is to build a church community in the Hub serving both the Academy and the local communities of Ordsall/Langworthy estates and MediaCity.
