SERVE. LEARN. GROW
Are you passionate about serving God and loving others?

At Crown Jesus we believe it is vital to invest in and empower young leaders.
In the Academy you will be:

Encouraged in both personal and spiritual growth, through Bible studies, daily staff devotions, book studies, conferences and mentoring
-
Provided with practical training - Including evangelism, prayer ministry, puppet skills, drama, graphics, social media, filming & OCN Youth Work qualifications (extra cost)
-
Given opportunities for first-hand experience in ministry, this will depend on the stream you choose.
We have 4 STREAMS to choose from depending on your ministry interests and availability:
COST:
We want The Academy to be accessible to everyone, so we have kept the cost as low as possible.
£20 a month for 10 months (OCN not included)
FUNDRAISING:
We encourage everyone to run one fundraiser during the year to help raise support for the ongoing work of Crown Jesus Ministries and supplement the extra expenses related to Academy.
"My time at Academy has shown me that there is a place for me in ministry."
"Academy has shaped my faith, because it has affirmed who I am in Christ."
