Lifepath
Lifepath is an initiative to help Christians in local communities organise an event in which primary school pupils have the opportunity to explore the Christian faith through the ‘lifepath’ of a well known Christian from history with a link to their location.
Lifepath presents the Christian story in a way that is curriculum linked, age appropriate and Bible-based, encouraging children and teachers to consider their own path through life. Using stories of particular Christians in history, Lifepath offers a range of activities to engage the visiting school groups.
Lifepath will look different in every location, where there are different stories to explore, yet there will be some consistent elements to the programme wherever it takes place:
A commitment to the core values and ethos of Lifepath – an educationally valid spiritual event based on the underlying theme of journey.
A pre-Lifepath assembly or visit to introduce schools to the concept.
An event which is professionally run on a sound financial basis with adequate public liability in place and a team which is appropriately vetted and trained.
A standard format to the day which includes four streams of workshops and opening and closing times together with elements of Religious Observance.
A commitment to small groups led by volunteer group leaders.
A commitment to follow up which could be delivered in a range of ways.
