Mettle
‘Mettle’ = ‘courage, spirit,
character’ (dictionary definition)
Mettle
is not a ‘quick fix’ course on Christianity. It’s
more of an ongoing programme, designed to build the essential Christ-like
qualities of courage, spirit, and character that will help 14-18s
make informed choices. Following on from the success of other YFC
resources, including Rock Solid and RS2, Mettle is easy to adapt
for groups of any size, and for those with or without a church background.
The resources are flexible, so you and your group can choose the
subjects and sessions you find most relevant.
Mettle
is relevant / Mettle is relational / Mettle is revolutionary:
Through it we believe we can impact a generation of young people.
Mettle
works through 3 key activity areas:
- Core
sessions
Teaching the basics of Christianity and addressing the gaps in
Christian knowledge and experience of many young people. Selection
of one of these is mandatory and forms the central part of the
programme, giving plenty of time and space for discussion and
developing biblical understanding
- Hot
Potato sessions
With a choice of challenging and stimulating sessions these aim
to get young people talking openly and responding positively to
peer pressures and hard-hitting issues.
- Wild
Card sessions
These suggest ways to vary the programme, with socials or practical
activities and the chance to impact the local church and community.
Mettle
Devotional Notes
As part of our commitment to helping 14-18s discover and develop
a living faith in Jesus Christ, we are producing Mettle Devotional
Notes. These are written to equip young people to think through
the issues that affect them and encourage regular, guided, personal
prayer and Bible study.
