Training and Young People

We are passionate about seeing the next generation growing in their faith and potential. We want to help facilitate you on your journey as you seek to find God’s place for you in His world! There are several ways that we’d love to collaborate with you…

iNet Gap Year
Youth Service week

Every few years we arrange short-term mission trips especially for teenagers (aged 14 +)  This is a unique opportunity for young people attending iNet member churches to get new perspectives on life and who God is. It is a life changing experience and we hope to see more young people attend. You will need to attend scheduled training and debrief sessions, fundraise for the trip, and afterwards share about your experiences at an iNet event.

For more information about Summer 24 and locations, including completing an Expression of Interest form,  please email Angela.
