Can anyone sign the declaration?

Yes - providing you are serious before God about living out the principles! Although aimed at teenagers and young people, many youth leaders choose to sign the declaration too. IGNITE works across all the evangelical denominations and streams.

Where is Ignite based?

IGNITE was birthed by Big Ideas, a Christian charity based in Cardiff, but has quickly spread all over the UK and even further afield.

Would you visit my church?

 We believe in working across denominations and across town or city areas. Every year we arrange a tour where we partner with churches, or groups of churches, in towns or cities, who have the same vision for area wide discipleship as we do. We also run mission opportunities in the UK and abroad. 

Do you provide resources?

 Yes- as well as the card we produce "Bible Bits to Ignite your life" daily readings through Scripture Union, the book "IGNITE- God's purpose for this generation", tapes, tracts, and a merchandise range. See the Resources and Shop sections for more details

Are there any famous people who have signed the declaration?

How about.... Andy Hawthorne, Rebecca St. James, Cameron Dante, the Archbishop of Canterbury and of course, YOU!
