TeenStreet 2020
TeenStreet 2020 will be more exciting than ever before. We will not be in Oldenburg this year, but this TeenStreet will see the start of a new year-long international community called TeenStreet Life that connects you to Jesus and to Jesus followers from around the world as well as from your own area.
You can find country specific details and contact info on the contact page.
Overview
What will TeenStreet 2020 look like?
How on earth is TeenStreet going to happen online?
For all the TeenStreeters out there who know and love the culture and community of TeenStreet, it might be hard to imagine TeenStreet without the TS boulevard, the cocktail bar, dancing around and being in one place with so many nationalities, and the incredible presence of God in the Throne Room.
How can we replicate all this on TeenStreet Life sitting in our living rooms?
Let’s be honest, we can’t replicate the full TeenStreet experience, but we can still dig deep into God’s Word and discover more about living radically for Jesus. We can still get together in online NET groups to connect, laugh, encourage and inspire each other. And we can still worship in our homes, just like we do in the Throne Room.
We all know it’s going to be very different this year, but we’re so excited about doing TeenStreet Life in this crazy new world we find ourselves in. And we can’t wait to introduce new people to TeenStreet, because let’s face it, going online means anyone from Lapland to Malta, and from Ireland to Russia, can join in. We think that’s awesome!
Stay tuned to this page and the tabs above to find out all you need to know about TS20. Registration will be open in June, and we can’t wait to see you at TeenStreet Life 2020!

Pricing
How much will TeenStreet Life cost?
The registration fee for all people is 25 euros.
Registration will be open on June 15! And will close on 17th July.
What do I get for my registration fee?
Your registration fee grants you access to view the livestreamed evening program, including Main Hall and Throne Room. It also gives you access to a personalised online NET group where you can chat, learn and grow with your Coach and other teens.
Also included in your registration is access to all the exclusive online seminars which will feature inspiring speakers from around the world.
If TeenStreet Life is online – why is there a registration fee at all?
We would love to offer TeenStreet for free, but the reality is that going online has its own associated costs. We have to cover the costs of hosting all the data that is being streamed, the professional video conferencing fees and a host of other costs related to having licences to stream music and lyrics.
Please be assured that we have tried to make the registration fee as low as we can to make it affordable for everyone.
Throne Room will be free for all who do not register.
Will I get a refund if my situation changes?
If you register and pay, but for some reason you’re unable to participate in TeenStreet Life, you will receive a 50% refund if you let us know before the close of registration on 17th July.
After 17th July, there will be no refunds for registration fees.
Still have questions?
My question isn’t answered on this page, how can i get an answer?
We are here to help, please email your question to TS in your country. You can find the contact details for each country on the Contact page.

Volunteer at TeenStreet
- Coach
- M&Ms
- Service Team
- Prayer
Coaching at TeenStreet involves loving, supporting, teaching and encouraging a NET group of around six teens. We ask Coaches to be pointing teens toward Jesus and to challenge them through their words and example. We are also committed to developing Coaches through our training days, M&M mentoring and support that takes place during TeenStreet.
This year, Coaches will be expected to participate during the evening program (17:30-20:00) and to meet their M&Ms each day (4-8th August). If you are available during the Interact sessions in the mornings and after Throne Room, that would be a great opportunity to connect with the broader TeenStreet community!
This year, Coaches will meet daily with their M&Ms via video call.
The M&M role is to serve, support and invest in the Coaches. Coaching can be an intense experience and M&Ms play a valuable role in providing a listening ear and encouragement.
M&M couples are often made up of a male and a female, who can work together with the team of Coaches under their care. They are generally mature adults who are a good judge of character and situations, and capable in the area of pastoral care.
This year, M&Ms will meet daily with their Coaches via video call.
The Service Team this year will be critical in ensuring the online experience is smooth, engaging and positive. If you have experience in the following areas and would like to help out, please get in contact with us.
- Livestream Video Production
- Video Conferencing
- Counselling and/or chaplaincy
- Social Media
Prayer is a key value of TeenStreet and we are looking to engage a massive prayer movement of praying parents and friends who want to see God move powerfully in this generation.
We want to invite you to be part of the team. If you would like to pray for TeenStreet Life, please contact the TS contact person in your country and we will send you prayer points and invite you into online prayer meetings that will run throughout the 5 days of TeenStreet. Where there is much prayer there is much power!
You can contact the office of your country if you want to get involved. You can find country specific contact details on the contact page.

Aaron Lewis
I’m from the UK but I’ve been living in Spain for the past 6 years where I work with youth and young adults. I love travelling and being outside - in my free time you’ll find me in the mountains or at the beach. Last year at TeenStreet I played guitar in the worship band and I’m so excited to join the speakers team this year! Fun fact: this photo was taken at TeenStreet last year during one of the rehearsals!
Cécile Chollet
I’m from Switzerland and I work part-time as an occupational therapist and sometimes as a makeup artist. I love life! There is so much God gave us to explore! I like to sing, I run, I like music and shoes... But I really enjoy being around people and hearing their stories. I am passionate about sharing what a life with Jesus looks like. As a teen, Teenstreet has played a big role in developing my relationship with Jesus. I think it's a great place to build foundations on which you can continue growing during the rest of the year!
Rich & Rachel Hendrikson
Rich and Rachel have been living in France for 10 years. Originally from the United States, they moved to France to serve in youth ministry. They work with a local church and have been involved in Teenstreet since 2016. They have three amazing kids, love to travel, enjoying eating sushi, watching movies together, and love getting to be a part of what God does through TeenStreet.
Throne Room
Make your home the Throne Room!
Throne Room, for those who haven’t been to TeenStreet before, is the place where we worship and respond to God.
And there’s nothing stopping you from creating your own Throne Room in your home. God’s presence is everywhere, so we can experience his Throne Room wherever we are.
We would really encourage you to make the most of the evening Throne Room times to engage and connect with God through worship. Why not turn out the lights, maybe hang up some fairy lights, and enter God’s Throne Room right at home!
Interact Seminars & Events
Learn, grow and be inspired!
We are so excited to see you guys equipped, inspired and encouraged to be radical for Jesus!
This year at TeenStreet Life, there will be Interact sessions in the morning where you’ll login to Interact seminars and events. In these online meetings, you’ll learn from, and be inspired by, awesome people doing great things for Jesus.
We’ll keep adding more great hosts in the lead up to TeenStreet Life, so stay tuned to this page to find out who else you can sit and chat with during the Interact sessions.
Share your Interact Idea!
We would love to know who you’d like to hear in an Interact session and what topics you’d like to see covered. Let us know on our socials or flick us an email.
You can find the contact details for your country on the contact page.
NET Groups
What will they look like?
We believe the NET groups are the heart and lifeblood of TeenStreet, a place where you connect and do life with other teens your age, going through the same stuff you’re going through.
And don’t forget the legendary coaches who guide and encourage you throughout TeenStreet.
Even though you might not be in the same room together this year, you’ll still be able to connect with your NET group by logging into your very own online space – just for your NET.
After the main session livestream and Shh Time, you’ll login to your NET group, where you can discuss, share, laugh and pray together.
