'Step Forward' happens at Bishopthorpe Palace York, on Saturday 2 March 2019.

It's a day for anyone aged 18 to 30 considering ordained ministry in the Church of England. There will be time for worship, prayer and Bible study, an opportunity to find out what being ordained is really like – its highs and lows, space to look at your own experience and what God might be calling you to in the future as well as the chance to discover how the selection process and ordination training programmes work.

Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu says, “The invitation of Jesus Christ is ‘Come! Follow me’. How you respond is up to you. Perhaps God is calling you to ordained ministry in the Church of England where you can join in encouraging the whole people of God to preach the Kingdom in word and action. If you are aged between 18 and 30, Step Forward offers you an opportunity to explore this further.”

Over 500 people aged 18 to 30 have attended Step Forward since it started ten years ago.
