Introduction to Ultimate Church Visit PowerPoint show

An exciting, interactive and memorable visit to a Salvation Army place of worship

What is Ultimate Church Visit?

• A fun and valuable visit to The Salvation Army for primary school children aged 5-11.

• Fits into many areas of the school curriculum, particularly RE and Citizenship.

• Allows pupils to meet people in their community and experience faith first-hand.

How does it work?

• A visit usually lasts for a morning or afternoon and works best with one class at a time.

• Pupils are organised into small groups which travel around a series of zones (usually 3/4 zones).

• In each zone pupils explore, with the help of a leader, a different aspect of The Salvation Army.

How does it work? • Zones can include Worship, History, Community work, Symbols, Bible, Music, International work, Homelessness and Uniform. • Activities vary for younger and older pupils, but could include drama, stories, music, DVD clips, discussion, questions and quizzes.

How does it work? • Pupil workbooks are provided to help pupils record what they have learnt. • The visit encourages pupils to express their thoughts and opinions and to reflect on their own values and beliefs.

How do I arrange an Ultimate Church Visit?

• Contact your local Salvation Army church to discuss the possibility of organising a visit.

• A team may be able to hold an Ultimate Church Visit at your school if visiting the church isn’t practical.
