The purpose of this page is briefly to outline who we are and what we've done. We don't know it all, we just want to share our experiences with you. We hope it helps. If not, please skip to another page on the site

We are Christian youth workers from City Community Church and Pinhoe Road Baptist Church in Exeter (a city of 112,000 in Devon, UK). We have initiated, organised and helped organise 2 major regular events - one called 'Revelation' and one called 'Progression'

Revelation is a multi-media, music-based, fun-filled event focusing on non-Christian teenagers but attracting Christians as well. We then run an evening event in the school on a very professional level - involving school performers and Christian performers.

Revelation was run by the youth team at City Community Church / Pinhoe Road Baptist Church in Exeter. This has now been handed on and is run by the Exeter youth leader team called Infinity although in practice it is still run by us and our young people. It involves numerous young people from our church at every event in a wide variety of roles (12-14 young people at each). It now attracts up to 150 young people from in and around Exeter. God has built this up (and down and up!) in his time and way

Progression is for Christian young people in the Exeter area involving worship, teaching and prayer - encouraging unity and building up young people. This attracts up to 100 at each event.

Progression was started by 2 youth workers from Pinhoe Road Baptist Church and Belmont Chapel. It is now organised and led by youth leaders and young people from different churches under the Exeter Infinity Team

These events have respectively run since 1997 and 1999. There have now been many Revelations and Progressions. Revelation will been re-starting in schools, and is combined with a week of intensive schools work in lunchtimes (such as performances, involving Christians in schools, lessons).

Apart from this, we ran a weekly youth service at Pinhoe Road Baptist from January 1997-August 2005 and run or been involved with numerous church, school and outreach events in and around the city over the last 8 years including open air events, an under 18s night in evenings, school media events, school music events, school plays, church and school discos, clubs for Year 11 students in school, church in a club, 18 plus groups and loads more..

Our youth service is very creative and relationally based. We use TV, video editing, graphics, projections, computers, visual mixers, worship bands or worship to CDs/MDs with Christian songs remixed, lots of creative Bible and prayer times and more. These attract up to 25 leaders and young people each week.

At City Community Church, we were heavily involved in Just10 Devon with J John. This led to an event being started called, 'FNX' which we are a key part of - with schools work, detached, programming and work on the night in DJ-ing, visuals and more. We also have had responsibility for services, bringing drama, visuals, and different music formats into the mix.
