Resources
The *essential website seeks to help you find good quality resources that are suitable for your needs.
The *essential resource review team consider the resources recommended on this website to be useful and effective in enabling young people to; engage with biblical truth, develop a theological framework, grapple with Christian belief, learn about key Christian doctrines and be equipped in apologetics. *essential wants to ensure that belief is connected to practice and therefore it's not only doctrinal and apologetic resources that are recommended but also good quality pragmatic resources that enable young people to engage with biblical truth.
To help you find what you are looking for, the resources are divided into three sections:
Resources for youth leaders: to help you increase your understanding of Christian belief and equip you for more effective youth ministry. (Some of these resources may also be suitable for older young people.)
Youth Group Resources: for you to use and adapt as you prepare and run engaging and life transforming youth group sessions.
Resources for young people: that you can recommend to them with confidence.
Websites: with resources for young people and youth leaders.
