"More than ever young people need to know what they believe and why they believe it. Only then can they live it." [Nigel James - Ignite]

Welcome to the *essential website – an access-point for youth leaders, parents and anyone else seeking to engage young people with biblical truth.
The resource section will help you find suitable resources for you and your group while the FAQ section will help you explore those difficult questions that young people often ask.
If this is your first visit to the site you might like to take a quick look at the site guide, so you know what’s what and where to find what you are looking for. I also recommend that you sign-up to receive the *essential e-mail updates. These will (amongst other things) tell you about newly published youth resources and introduce you to the *essential features and articles.
The current *essential feature introduces a website where youth leaders can share 'homemade' resources.
Please e-mail me with your comments and requests. The *essential project is here to help you.
Phil Green, *essential project director
