Don’t Just Take Our Word For It..

This course is a catalyst for personal transformation, shifting culture wherever you go and transforming the communities where you exist. When Kingdom Values shape the culture of a group or place, people flourish and mission becomes natural; whether you’re a youth worker/mentor, church leader, community member, parent or young person that’s what the course sets you up for. Here’s what others have to say about it:

Dr. David Williams, Ph.D, President of Taylor College & Seminary, Canada. “Foundations offers students real life skills not only for personal transformation but also for community transformation. Anyone interested in making an impact for the Kingdom should seriously consider participating in the course.”

Chris, Reading: “A good guide on how to further your relationship with God. Eye opening.”

Hannah, Leyland: “It is a great wake-up call that challenges and encourages your thinking. I went away feeling really excited about life and what God has in store for me.”

Rev. Cesar Mendoza, London: “It is a practical and valuable course for every Christian with a serious commitment to growth toward spiritual maturity.”

Keith, Witham: “Amazing! Learned so much about myself… and how to use my Bible!”

Rev. Leon Collyer, Reading: “Transformational. You get to learn new things but also how to join them together and begin to live them out. A great balance of theory, prayer, and practice.”

Lynne, Aylesbury: “Helped re-fresh and redirect me after a difficult year.”

Bible College Lecturer: “I’ve been to many seminars in my life, and the training this week would be the best I’ve ever experienced.”

Vice-president of Taylor College and Seminary, Dr. Terry Fossen, Ph.D: “After more than 30 years of ministry through the church as well as the academy, it is both refreshing and challenging to re-discover that our Lord is not finished with me, yet. [As a Foundations trainer, I have become] excited, anew, about what is about to unfold in the lives of students and facilitator alike in [future] Foundations courses.”

How the Course is Delivered..

The course is delivered using a combination of talks, discussions and practical sessions, role plays and activities, all finally culminating in a community outreach event.

There are often three streams: a youth stream, a ministry and leadership stream and a stream for the rest of us!

Foundations for Personal, Community and Cultural Transformation is for young and old, both new and seasoned Christians, as well as new and seasoned leaders. It’s for academics and practitioners, and for ANYONE wanting to deepen their understanding and experience of the Christian faith.

For many years Fusion International and Shift Youth + Community have used it to develop their own youth workers and leaders, to perpetuate a culture of discipleship and mission, to facilitate authentic fellowship, and to help establish people of all ages in their faith. The course can be delivered as a one week intensive or one weekend a month over four months.

SYC Inaugural Annual Benefit Dinner

Imagine a nation of hope-filled teens rooted in thriving communities! There’s a new thing happening; have you seen it? Come, join the journey and together help make it happen.

SYC is all about living our best life, the way God intended.

By instilling the values of Gods Kingdom into our communities and working with our youth who are at the very heart of our communities, we believe we can transform society for the better.

Life for a teenager living in the 21st century is chaotic, stressful and often terrifying; in order to change this we need to shift the culture within which they exist. As the leaders of tomorrow, we want our youth to thrive and prosper by finding hope and a purpose.

Our strategic approach to change has seen four communities in the U.K. start to flourish, as we have worked with young people, their schools, families and community.

In Christ, we are of one mind and one body and we must work together to achieve all that is on Gods heart to do  with our teens and in the communities of this nation.
