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. Find out more at www.salvationarmy.org.uk/schools
