The Music, Mission and Young People (MMYP) project is exploring how churches throughout the Anglican Diocese are running, or would like to run, music initiatives for young people, with a faith development pathway.
The project is being led by Richard Hubbard (Project Director) and Andrew Gosden (Project Manager). Richard said, “So far we’ve found 25 churches that are wanting to develop activities, covering a wide range of approaches, including traditional church choirs, after-school music clubs, youth community choirs and music groups. This is really encouraging”.
A key part of the MMYP project is to encourage faith development in young people through music activities. To help support churches with this, a new Suffolk Music for Growing Faith Network is being launched with their first meeting to be held on Tuesday 21 January from 12.30pm to 1.30pm, via Zoom. You can register to join the Network here.
The new online community of leaders will meet periodically to share ideas and learn from each other. Further information is available here.
