Invite People to Know God
Share the hope of Jesus
Festival Teesside's overarching aim is to share Jesus's hope with people across the entire region of Teesside.
For those attending the festival at Stewart Park 8-9 June, amongst the family fun, music, and entertainment there will be many opportunities for people to hear clear and relevant presentations of the Gospel. Before the festival, we will have Mission Week, where we will hold a series of outreach events.
Each event is aimed towards different groups of people across the region, and many have been planned specifically to allow you to invite your friends and family along.
But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? Romans 10:14

The Gospel is good news for everyone! For this reason, several events are planned to serve communities that are harder to reach.
Marginalised communities
There is existing work across Teesside led by Christians who support and serve addicts, the homeless, ex-offenders and their families, as well as other communities that often get forgotten. An exciting programme of events has been organised during the fortnight running up to the festival offering meals, live music, and BMX displays, after which the Gospel will be shared alongside the telling of powerful testimonies.
Skate outreach
The Sports Outreach team will spend time with the skate community at local skate parks during the week at Preston Skate Park. Athletes will share their personal testimonies with attendees and invite people to respond to the Gospel.
Stay tuned for more details as the week of Festival Teesside approaches.
Prison Outreach
There will be a team of select people to go into local prisons.
There will be BMX displays, live music, and a clear presentation of the Gospel by the Palau team.
Although we are not looking for volunteers to this particular outreach event, we ask that you would pray for the prisons and all of those who are involved.
School outreach
We are partnering with Doug Horley, he has an international ministry working with children and songwriting. This team will go to schools with those who have registered with the Kids Team for an afternoon of entertainment for students.
