CHRIST CHURCH TURNHAM GREEN
We have a fun, chilled, welcoming youth group for those aged between 11-18. We meet each Friday in term time at Christ Church Turnham Green, 6:30 - 8:30pm.
Over the last year we've played games in the dark, murder mysteries, had ice cream decorating competitions, raced around Chiswick and much more… We then split into PODs (pockets of disciples) to grow in faith and community in small groups.

RESOURCES
EQUIPPING THE LOCAL CHURCH WITH QUALITY YOUTH WORK RESOURCES
CONFIRMED
We have made a confirmation course called Confirmed.
The course prepares young people for confirmation and long term discipleship by encouraging engagement with Christian spiritual disciplines - the young people collect corresponding badges along the way, which has proved quite fun.
Confirmed can also be used as a youth group discipleship series or is great staple for confirmation classes.
SESSION PLANS
We have uploaded 4 fully planned youth sessions, top tips, articles and ideas available for you to download and try out in your church setting.
We also recommend checking out Urban Saints Energize curriculum. It has tonnes of youth series ideas pre-planned for you, but it also lets you tweak the content and build your own session using their bank of games, activities and bible studies.
Youth For Christ also have a brilliant range of resources, curriculum and content available. Do check it out and see what’s a good fit for you.
