The programme
Four weeks. Four questions that matter.
A faith-based thinking and training programme for teenagers, grounded in 1 Peter 3:15 — helping teenagers move beyond inherited faith to owned conviction through thoughtful engagement, biblical reasoning, and character formation.
Beyond inherited faith. Toward owned conviction.
The Foundry is not a Bible study. Not a debate club. The place where faith gets forged — tested, owned, and made to hold.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”— 1 Peter 3:15
For teenagers ready to think.
Ages 13–15
Old enough to ask the hard questions. Young enough for the answers to shape everything that comes next.
Any church background
The Foundry is non-denominational. Participants from a variety of Christian backgrounds are welcome.
Honest questioners
For teens who want a faith of their own — not one they're borrowing until further notice.
The four questions.
What Do I Actually Believe?
Separating what you've inherited from what you actually hold. An honest audit of your own convictions.
Why Do I Live Differently?
How belief shapes character, habits, and standards — and why a distinct faith produces a distinct life.
Does God Exist?
The biggest question, taken seriously. Engaging the strongest objections with reason and Scripture.
Who Is Jesus, Really?
The central claim of Christianity, examined and answered: not a character in a story, but a person to contend with.
Every week concludes with a practical challenge. Participants record and upload a short video responding to questions from that week's lesson — not simply to test what they've learned, but to build the clarity, confidence, and oratory skills to communicate and defend their faith with conviction.
This programme takes you seriously. It asks the same back.
