TeenStreet is a global movement of young, vibrant Jesus followers who seek to grow their real friendship with Jesus and reflect Him daily in their world. We work with the Church to motivate, equip and walk alongside Christian teens from local churches.
TeenStreet started in 1993 with a total of 53 teenagers and has grown rapidly. Today, we have multiple events and teenagers from over 15 countries, spread over 4 continents. Around 10,000 participants and volunteers are involved.
We are committed to working with churches and youth groups, supporting them in their ministry to teenagers. At the same time, we emphasise cooperation with churches, because it’s so important that teenagers have a Christian community to be part of after TeenStreet.
At TeenStreet, we want to encourage teenagers in their walk with Jesus and help them make wise decisions. That is why every participant is part of a small group. Members of a small group share the same language and are the same age. Their adult leader supports them and shares his or her personal relationship with Jesus with them.
During the main meetings the teenagers also learn about living in relationship with God. They take what they hear in the main meetings to their small groups to reflect on it and apply it to their lives at home. In addition, TeenStreet offers many exciting things for the teenagers to take part in, including sports, creative arts, seminars and workshops.

More about TeenStreet
History
TeenStreet began in 1992 as a vision for an international Christian conference for teens. Founders Dan and Suzie Potter from the U.S. gave it the name TeenStreet “because the whole purpose was to give teens a street to travel upon…a way to live”.
