What we do

We create opportunities for children and young people to explore the Bible, respond to Jesus and grow in faith.

We believe every child should have the chance to discover Jesus. And, with an estimated 95% of children in England and Wales not part of a church, we're working harder than ever to take the good news of Jesus beyond the church in exciting and culturally relevant ways.

With extensive experience of working with unchurched children and young people, as well as research into the faith journeys of the 95, everything we do is focused around our vision to see a new generation of children and young people who have a vibrant, personal faith in Jesus.
