Are you ready to give young people like ‘Ashley’ the opportunity to learn about the Christian Faith?

crossteach provides high quality teaching about the Christian faith in schools, in partnership with local churches for all young people.

‘Ashley’ is a typical young person in the UK: they are growing up in a non-Christian home and have no contact with their local church. What opportunity does ‘Ashley’ have of hearing what Christians believe about Jesus from committed, skilled and passionate followers of Jesus? Without schoolsworkers and churches providing opportunities, young people like ‘Ashely’ would be left in the dark when it comes to the Christian faith.

‘Ashley’s’ typical school day often starts with an assembly, considering topics such as forgiveness. ‘Ashley’ enjoys RE and was particularly intrigued by the lesson looking at what Christians believe about the resurrection of Jesus. ‘Ashley’ has started attending a lunchtime club where they can listen to other people’s ideas and beliefs and are able to ask their own questions. They have been exploring the theme ‘God’s Love is…’. ‘Ashley’ now understands, engages with and responds to the Christian faith on a regular basis. ‘Ashley’ attends a school where crossteach leads these various activities – ‘Ashley’ is fortunate in having many opportunities to learn about the Christian faith.

How can we teach young people about the Christian faith unless people are willing to be sent into schools to make the most of the opportunities we have? Do you want to be part of a team that delivers high quality teaching about the Christian faith for young people like ‘Ashley’ on a regular basis? Could you help us make the most of every opportunity?
