Taking Good News Relevantly To Every Young Person

The dictionary defines mettle as 'courage, spirit, character - the quality of a person's disposition or temperament'.

Mettle is not a 'quick fix' course on Christianity. It's more of an ongoing programme, designed to build courage, spirit and character - essential Christ-like qualities that will help 14-18's make informed choices throughout this rapidly changing and challenging time of their lives. Mettle is easy to adapt for groups of any size and is suitable for those with or without a church background. The resources are all geared towards giving you and your group the opportunity to choose subjects and sessions that are most relevant to your particular situation.

Mettle works through three key activity areas:-

1. Core Sessions - these teach the basics of Christianity and address the gaps in Christian knowledge and experience of many young people. Selection of at least two of the Core Sessions are mandatory and should form the central part of the programme giving plenty of time and space for discussion and developing biblical understanding.
   
2. Hot Potato Sessions - these offer a choice of challenging and stimulating sessions to get your young people talking openly and responding positively to the peer pressures and hard-hitting issues they face today.
   
3. Wildcard Sessions - these suggest ways to vary the programme by either socialising as a group or organising a practical activity that could impact the local church and community.

Sample packs are available to let you check out the resources.
