Welcome!
As well as developing resources and visiting schools, we travel the country to speak at youth meetings, put on training days and take part in events and festivals. Here’s where you find out how you can be part of a New Generation training day or bring the Team to your church, and also where we’ll be so you can stop by our stand and pay us a visit at an event in your area. We’d love to connect with you!

NG at Your Church or Event
So you want to encourage and empower your young people to reach out in their schools, and you’d like to get the NG Team on board to help you?
One of the best ways to do that is to invite us to a a youth meeting, event or camp to either do a talk, hold a workshop or run a Wired training day. This can help get your young people thinking about their schools as a place where they can live out their faith and give them some ideas to get them started.
For those of you keen to connect with us long-term and have regular input from New Generation in your youth ministry, we’re currently developing an all new Church Pack. The pack includes a series of 4 youth meetings hosted in your church and run by the NG Team over the course of 4-6 months. The Team will also come to a Sunday morning service to help give your young people in schools some profile and encourage the rest of the congregation to support them as they stand up for their faith in school. The Church Pack also includes a package with videos, presentations and school-oriented sermon and study material. The cost is just £300, including travel costs, multimedia and resources for each meeting/session.
For more information on this and how you church can link in with New Generation, check out the You & NG and Events sections here on the site, and/or drop us an email at hello@newgeneration.co.uk
Faith, Hope & School 2012
I’m guessing you already know that we believe that Christian young people can make a difference in their school and college. I’m also going to assume that that’s something you believe too. If you’re a young person, a Church leader or schools worker then we want to invite you to our training day; FAITH HOPE SCHOOL. For 5 years in the UK and since 1996 in Europe, New Generation has been supporting young Christians live out their faith in a visible way. We’ve encouraged them to commit to prayer and outreach, and done our best to support them in doing that.
Over the years we’ve heard so many amazing stories and ideas. We’ve also seen some not so great ideas and some that are plain ridiculous. All that being said we want to pass that experience on, and also hear what you are doing in school right now. You’ll also get an opportunity to meet other young people that are in the exact same position as you are.
The day is full of practical, interactive sessions all based around developing you as a young Christian who can positively impact the people around you. It’s not about success or numbers, it’s about following Jesus and being salt and light to a generation that needs to see him. It’s no easy task, but it’s still the right path and we hope the day will be, inspirational, practical and prepare you for the realities you face daily at school.
What can I expect the sessions to include?
- Prayer & Outreach
- Social Action and Jesus
- Bring out the organiser in you!
- Speaking to the Head teacher
- Shed loads of testimonies
- practical idea’s and much much more…don’t believe me you’ll just have to come a long to see.

Test of Faith
Chip Kendall, of thebandwithnoname fame, has a new project he’s running having teamed up with the organisation Test of Faith, and we’re excited to be in on the partnership. The idea is to use music as a tool to explore the relationship between science and religion, and challenge the common perception that they are in conflict with one another. The project consists of Chip K, DJ Galactus Jack, and a scientist, and the three of them will be at your school for a whole day: performing, speaking and doing lessons.
The idea is to use Chip and his team for a day to give the group a boost and spark some conversation in the school, but also give your group some profile by you being involved in promotion, introducing the team and by advertising your group meetings as a place for follow up questions. This is a great way to combine the excitement of a big one day event, and the consistency of your group’s regular meetings.
If you want to host Chip and co. for a day then you’ll have to put your fundraising skills to the test, as the whole day will cost around £300-400. If you have any questions or just want to book a date straight away, send an email to hello@newgeneration.co.uk For fundraising tips, go to NG+
