Family & Pre-Teens Ministry
“The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection.” (Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia)
Rooted in Faith, Growing Together as Families
Families play a central role in the mission of Jesus Youth. Through prayer, hospitality, and faithful witness, family life provides a nurturing environment where young people are supported and encouraged in their journey of faith.
What began as an effort to support youth ministry has developed into a broader mission across the UK. Today, the Family Ministry accompanies households in living their Christian vocation more fully, strengthening marriages, supporting young families, and fostering faith formation for children and young people through initiatives such as Pre-Teens programmes, pilgrimages, and national prayer activities.
Inspired by the example of Aquila and Priscilla, families within Jesus Youth serve the wider community by opening their homes and lives in service of the Gospel. Through everyday acts of prayer, hospitality, and shared life, families offer a quiet yet powerful witness to faith in action.
