We are a Christian youth organisation, equipping leaders to make a difference in the lives of children and young people from all communities, all faiths, and none.
The Northern Ireland Boys’ Brigade (BBNI) is a dynamic, flexible, and inspiring church ministry for children and young people.

Sure & Steadfast
Chaplains play an important role in the life of a Boys’ Brigade company, supporting the leaders, helping them to share the gospel, and praying for both the leaders and young people. The chaplain will be appointed by the church, but not every chaplain will be the Minister. Some will be a childrens/youth worker or member of the church leadership team and every chaplain will approach the role in a different way.
