Sam Corley

Sam Corley, a vicar in Lancaster who is committed to developing young leaders on Ventures holidays.

When Sam first helped lead a Ventures holiday in 2000 he had only been a Christian for 18 months. Now serving as a vicar at a church in Lancaster, he is deeply committed to the development of young leaders, especially as the overall leader of two Venture holidays in Ripon each summer.

'Ventures were a wonderful opportunity for me to test my call to leadership and to explore my gifts,' he said. 'It was the first place I ever gave a talk and provided me with hands-on practical ministry experience.'

CPAS is developing a range of resources and events to train and develop overall leaders, such as Sam, and the other 3,500 volunteer leaders who join us to run around 120 holidays for 4,500 children and young people each year.
