• If your church has decided you want to go for it, but you are wondering how to get the materials and get started, click here for ‘what you need to do’/ Order Form.

• If you already have the booklets (or they’re on their way to you), and you have come to this website to look at the additional options, they are organised according to the five Phases of the programme – so just click on the relevant ‘Phase’ in the bar above, and browse through the options.

One option for each Session is found in the printed booklets, and two further options are available here. In most cases, there is a choice of a discussion-based option (which focuses on Bible passages), a creative-based option (which involves practical activities), or a resource-based option (which is designed to help the church generate its own resources for future use). But some Sessions consist of 2 or 3 ‘resource’ options, to encourage the church to address questions about its way forward.

We hope you find something to encourage and challenge your church, as you continue to grow as disciples with each other.
