Mettle at Ivybridge
The national Mettle scheme works through 3 key activity areas:

- Hot Potato sessions on hard-hitting issues
- Wild Card sessions suggest ways to vary the programme, with socials or practical activities
METTLE for y10+ started at Ivybridge Community College in September 2007. The group have been digging into the Bible, talking about their habits, watching a video testimony, and helping out at a local Noel Richards concert.

Grillings at Ivybridge Community College
This year Elis continues his discussion sessions at the college. Last year he received a grilling from Year 7s who were keen to know his beliefs on a wide range of topics. He was asked to share the basics of his faith and to answer questions on topics of concern to young people. One such topic was 'Why Could a God of Love Allow Suffering'.
