ONE Programme: Teams

ONE Programme: Teams trips are short-term visits to see where God is working in other parts of the world. You will be part of a team encountering other people and God either overseas or somewhere in the UK.

Our overseas trips are in partnership with Global Relationships, and the Encounter Together and Encounter Worldwide programmes, which offer part-funded opportunities for Methodists aged 18-26 to serve for up to two years with a world church partner.

The UK trips work in partnership with the Children, Youth and Family team to offer young people the opportunity to experience different ways of expressing faith and a different way of life much closer to home.

Upcoming Trips…

Due to Covid-19 we needed to postpone our trips and are currently aiming to start ONE Programme: Teams trips again from Spring 2022.
