St Marks Church Utley. Serving Christ, one another and the world

Scripture Union

Light to live by

Julie Forster’s role is to equip churches to reach out to children, young people and families in the West and South Yorkshire region.

Julie does this through leadership, training, support and helping provide resources to churches and Christians in her patch. As well as being involved in evangelism herself, Julie is keen to see the local church equipped, encouraged and released for evangelism. Julie is looking at ways of promoting local churches working together to reach their communities with the good news of Jesus Christ and is involved in national projects such as the leadership of Spring Harvest`s children`s programme.

Julie works with churches to develop strategies for children, youth and family outreach, train children`s and youth leaders, lead children`s and youth activities and holiday clubs, lead school assemblies and lessons, help churches develop safe procedures in the light of child protection and child care legislation.
