Church Partnership
The Big House Ireland is a Christian charity set up to help young people know they are loved by God even on their most difficult days.
The Big House is also a place where young people can discover more of God's love and hope in their lives, no matter who they are, where they are from, or what is going on in their lives. At The Big House, we want every young person who comes through our doors to leave knowing they are:
MADE | KNOWN | LOVED | VALUED | WORTHY OF RESPECT.
We do this through our youth sessions, resources, training, retreats, residentials, counselling and mentoring. The Big House seeks to support and encourage young people in our churches and local communities. We also seek to equip and encourage those who work or volunteer with youth to do the best job they can alongside them.
If you share our commitment to young people, might your church family consider becoming a Partner Church with The Big House?
