Dare to Dream
What does it look like to be part of a small group of young people in church and still be on fire for God?
We’ll spend the weekend exploring what it means to Dare to Dream for our church, our community and ourselves, and how we can grow in our faith as we do it.
It’s something we’ve been trying to work out in Bishopthorpe over the past 15 years. We don’t have all the answers, but we would love to share the story with you of what we have discovered, and encourage you to dream about what could happen in your church and small communities.
