The course, which is hands-on and interactive, explores what Christians believe about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, what it means to be a Christian and what impact faith can have on the way we live our lives.

All the material has been produced by experienced youth leaders and road-tested with youth groups around the country.

Each session contains full leader’s notes and photocopiable hand-outs and the pack comes complete with a free CD Rom containing downloadable text and graphics and a Powerpoint presentation.

‘ It made us laugh and think and helped us to understand God more’. Tiff John

‘Youth Emmaus is fab. Easy-to-use and very imaginiative…’ Revd Philip North

I was thrilled to be invited to be part of the Youth Emmaus writing team – along with Stephen Cottrell, Tim Sledge and Tony Washington. Our brief was to write a course that would be fun, relevant and easy-to use and that would introduce 11-16 year olds to the Christian Faith. We wrote the course across the space of about a year – trying out ideas with groups of teenagers in our own churches as we went along. The four of us had great fun discussing the course sessions – thrashing out what each of us believed and swapping ideas for games, activities and messy stuff like bread making and hand-painting. The Emmaus Nurture course for adults – on which our course is based – takes as it’s model a story in the Bible where Jesus walks alongside two people on a journey to a village called Emmaus. Only at the end of the story do the two people realise that it was Jesus who walked beside them. Youth Emmaus is designed to help youth leaders ‘walk alongside’ teenagers as they discover faith and to help us get to know the Jesus who walks alongside all of us – even when we don’t recognise him.
