We serve Christians around the world whose brave faith in Jesus means they are, beaten, threatened, imprisoned, tortured, falsely accused, disowned and hated.

What is Secret Church?
What’s involved

Our Secret Church resource explores some of the ways isolated, hidden and secret Christians do church. We’ve taken ideas and approaches from underground church meetings all around the world, and translated them into a simple session outline for you to use with your youth group or small group.

The session involves multiple activities and stories, all of which can work in-person or via video chat service like Zoom or Skype. The session should last around 60 minutes, but each element could be used as a stand-alone activity for a shorter session.

Included are ideas on how to:
  • Worship with a secret North Korean Christians
  • Read the Bible with Eritrean Christians in prison
  • Pray with persecuted and threatened believers in Pakistan
  • Share and encourage one another like the underground church in China

And loads more too…
