Plugged In is a set of teaching modules for 11-14s that can be combined to build a four-year teaching curriculum. Our heart is for youth to plug their lives into Christ so to know his love for them and his power in them. Plugged In materials are built on three commitments:
Rooted in Christ
We are convinced that from beginning to end the Bible is about Jesus and so each session unashamedly aims to teach the Bible. There is nothing more powerful and life-changing than hearts seeing Jesus in the pages of God’s Word. Our experience is that Plugged In materials give both leaders and youth confidence in understanding the Bible for themselves.
Going for Growth
The 11-14s age group is critical for growing maturity of faith and preparing for the challenges of following Christ as a young adult. Each Plugged In session includes relevant, real-life, age-appropriate applications that have been road-tested in an ordinary church context which included both churched and unchurched teens.
Ready to Use
Few churches are able to offer the support and investment really needed to run an effective 11-14s discipleship ministry. Our sessions aim to provide high-quality, high-impact sessions that are ready to go and include game and activity ideas. Each session is fully scripted so that even inexperienced leaders can read the session, pray over the passage and then have a go.

Our Beliefs
Plugged In materials uphold classic evangelical convictions as central as set out here.
Our Curriculum
Each session is written, tested, then revised and retested before being released for wider usage and feedback. The current status of our materials is here.
Purchasing Sessions
Each series is sold separately and costs just £1 x the number of sessions in the teaching series. Purchasing a series grants a licence for the sessions to be used within one youth ministry. Session notes are made available as PDFs along with files for suggested activities where these can be easily supplied. Click here to view a sample session.
