Our Vision

Enabling Christians to go into the learning environment of children and demonstrate the love of God to pupils and staff alike.

Our Mission

Creating opportunities for church teams to share in delivering Christian curriculum RE by training and equipping volunteers to meet primary school children in their own classroom setting, to help them to explore the Christian faith.

If you're a Church

looking to work with primary schools in your area

We can train and equip volunteers from your congregation, enabling them to deliver RE curriculum workshops - welcomed and valued by teachers.

If you're a School

wanting genuine Christian input to your RE curriculum

We can arrange school visits in the Derby area; offer virtual school visits across the UK; or liaise with a local church to provide Christian RE workshops.

If you're a Diocese

interested in connecting churches and schools

We would love to discuss options around training volunteers in multiple parishes; equipping them to take Christian RE into their local schools.
