Rock Solid – Sharing life with 11-14s

A resource to reach out to young people in your community

The majority of 11-14 year-olds have never heard the good news of Jesus in a way that is relevant to them. Rock Solid exists to share the gospel through friendships, fun and interactive activities, always including a challenge to respond. You’ll be amazed at how quickly 11-14 year-olds join in and feel at home with the activities and discussion groups. For many young people, Rock Solid is the start of their journey to faith, and provides the foundations for their growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

“Rock Solid is really helping us to get across the life-changing message that so many of our young people need to hear.” Joanna, youth worker.

Launched in the North East
It’s over ten years since Youth for Christ launched Rock Solid – the UK’s first structured and supported termly evangelistic programme for 11-14s- here in the north east. Since then, Rock Solid has gained an excellent track record of helping hundreds of churches across the country and into Europe to connect with this age group in ways that are fun, relevant and exciting.

The material
Rock Solid has all the material you will need to run hour-long weekly sessions that are fun, fast-moving, creative and inspiring to leaders and young people alike. The hours you used to spend on preparation can now be spent on building friendships with your group. Whatever the size of your group, Rock Solid provides material that you can easily adapt.

Rock Solid focuses the group around different core themes and issues each week. Sessions include high-energy games and a variety of activities and illustrations to encourage group discussion. ‘Thought’ sections put forward a helpful and biblical perspective to the session’s topic, and each session is structured in a way that encourages interaction between the young people and helps them build friendships.
