Central Team
Central team leader

Dom Conidi

Regional Mission Team Leader

As a team leader, I oversee our work across the region with our Faith Guides, partner churches, and mission partners in connecting and journeying with the ‘95’. I love to see children and young people truly flourish and their spirituality valued and nurtured as they journey with Jesus and discover their identity and purpose. I’ve lived in the central region all my life. I am passionate about people, evangelism, discipleship, learning, and teaching. I play sports and love the outdoors.

I am a musician, sportsman, film enthusiast and, beyond all those things, I am a follower of Jesus. I am eager to share the gospel, and I have a particular interest in training and equipping the church to work with children and young people.

Mission Enabler

I’m practically passionate about helping youth and children’s workers to reach out to children and young people they haven’t connected with before. To support and value our faith guides, and partners, who work with us particularly in and around Sheffield, Derby, Stoke-on-Trent and Nottingham.

Mission Enabler

My heart and passion is to see children and young people come to know Jesus from a young age, that they might become radical disciples of him and seek to serve him in their day-to-day lives. That a generation might be changed by the love of God and go on to change their towns, countries and world with the gospel that changes, frees and restores people to become all that they were created to be.

How can we help you?

Your local team offer training opportunities and support, along with a wealth of expertise, to make sure that you are equipped and championed as you reach the 95 in your area.

We created the Revealing Jesus mission framework as a flexible framework that can be uniquely adapted to help make mission manageable for you and your church, whatever your context! With access to incredible resources as well as one-to-one support from your local Mission Enabler, we're here for the long-haul. We're ready to be there for you as you walk alongside the 95 in their faith journey. 

Local Mission Partners

We believe that together really is better and along with churches and individuals, we also have Local Mission Partners. Find out more about them, and what they do here!

We are passionate about reaching the 95% of children and young people who don’t go to church with the good news of Jesus! If that’s you too, then let’s talk.
