FCG has been active partners with RE Today over the last few years. We collaborated with them on our Reforming Christianity resources.

The website showcases how RE Today works with schools, SACREs, funders supporting them with high-quality, bespoke RE consultancy services. It also has a resource section which signposts teachers to over 1500 resources which are now all available on the NATRE website with a simple search facility, as well as searchable CPD section.

Do you work with children aged between 7 and 16 years old? Then you might be interested in these religious education teaching resources.
These resources have been commissioned by the Free Churches Group and The Methodist Church, sponsored by the Westhill Endowment and produced in association with RE Today Services.
The resources were written and launched to commemorate The Reformation. They are a dynamic and engaging range of teaching and learning materials you can share as part of your work with children and young people.
If you are working as an RE teacher in schools or know someone at your church who is, why not pass these on to them too? It could help them with their planning for the next academic year.

Are you involved in teaching RE and want to learn more about the Reformation? Or perhaps you are leading some Bible studies and have a goal to share more about the Reformed Protestant tradition to your congregation or youth and children’s groups?
The FCG, in partnership The Methodist Church, with support from the Westhill Endowment, have created some free resources which have been written by RE Today Services.
What does the Reformation mean to you? Ancient History? Something to do with Henry VIII? The period of soul-searching and challenge to authority which swept Europe 500 years ago heralded radical and sweeping changes to religion, culture and politics. What does this 500 year-old conflict mean to pupils and how can we bring the huge impact of the Reformation to life in the classroom?
