Video resources
SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY
A bunch of videos that take you gently through one of the most famous parts of the New Testament - Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount".
Tripple-cooked Ephesians
A short series unpacking the message behind a letter to a forming church community in the first century, and what that might mean today.
Tripple-seeded Galatians
A short series of videos, re-wording of a truly ancient spiritual letter written to a growing new church over 2,000 years ago.
OUTSIDE IN
10 all-age episodes and two songs which can be used for anything you'd like. Written for a 'beach mission' holiday club, but usable in sunday schools, kids church, as a family, and more.
Re:Lived
A few short dramas which open up passages from the Bible. All sharable and usable personally or in church.
Supernatural Gifts
A short set of videos which explore a stunning list of gifts outlined for one of the first ever churches that existed. Here, we take one gift at a time and explore what it means then and now.
The Divine Invitation
Following the written resource of the same name, this will eventually be one video for every chapter of the book which outlines PIONEER's values.
With Love from Peter
7 short videos that take us through a re-word of the letter Peter (one of Jesus' disciples) wrote to a church going through intense persecution. See how these powerful, ancient words still speak today.
JACK AND THE BEAN STORK
An invitation for families to share an adventure, and experience the themes of the Easter story.
Yes, click the link below, and you'll find the location where (eventually) all 12 chapters will be. Each is only 3-5 mins long, and comes as a highly engaging doodle-animation. The invitation is to grab a drink, sit as a family, watch the story chapters one, or two at a time, and talk through the themes in the video description. Simple.
Prayer Labyrinth
Every so often, we will be re-creating this prayer labyrinth.
An interactive journey through a piece of the Bible,
divided up into a number of gentle, open and challenging devotions.
Time to hear the passage, reflect and then pray.
Here's the current labyrinth.
The Easter Story
Use this link to download our re-wording of the Easter Story to listen to. This is the finished version (script and soundscape), but if you swipe across, you'll find the script on its own.
There will be a live version of this, as a one-man performance this Easter. Details will appear on facebook and via the church email. Sign up if you're interested.
The Easter Story
Use this link to download our re-wording of the Easter Story to listen to. This is the 'naked script' version (just the script), but if you swipe across, you'll find the script with an atmospheric soundscape.

The Divine Invitation
- An invitation to humanity -
Volume one.
Released on Saturday 21 March 2020 (in the Churches Bookshop, Douglas, Isle of Man), this is the first of three volumes that seek to open up just what it is that God is inviting humanity into. Who could we be, and how does God want the world to look?
Each volume is just 10 short chapters, written beautifully and inspirationally, with loads of stories of how God is at work today and how that directly links to how God has always been at work as outlined in the Bible.
To order your copy from blurb.co.uk (a print on demand site), just hit the order button, and pay, and about a week later your book will arrive!
SPACE QUESTERS
A 10-episode comedy space drama which explores 10 key elements to the identity of God as seen through the Christian world-view. Can be used easily in conjunction with a Christian holiday club for kids and teenagers. Uses almost exclusively a cast of 3, but with some occasional very minor extra parts. Download the full scripts here, or use the button below to jump to the 'print on demand' site and get a number of printed copies.
