Youth Ministry

Good Luck, I've been looking for years. About the best is Positive Action for Christ, but I've found that I do better if I develop material on my own.

the bible

 

i'm sorry, i didn't mean it to sound smart, i almost
didn't post anything at all. but i'm completely serious.
you could take them through a book verse by
verse, perhaps proverbs of 1st corinthians.

 

Dude, check your spirit first. Timothy's remark wasn't that bad (compared to a LOT of other remarks you can find on this message board).

A serious question: What age group?

I taught teens for a while. The first thing I usually try to get through to them is the importance of growing together as a church family, and using their individual God-given talents to help each other. I used 1 Corinthians 12 as the background text.

I then developed some lessons, first to learn about themselves and each other. Next set was to learn about other religions and what they believe, in order to help them become more effective witnesses. Next set was to help them grow as church members (i.e., we followed the basic "adult church sermon hour" outline, explaining what we were doing and why), with the emphasis not on treating them like kids or teens but as future adult members of the church.

Just some thoughts.

But as for actual youth resources, Lighthouse Baptist in Colorado Springs is the only church I've personally seen that had some curriculum for their younger-aged Sunday School classes. Perhaps you could contact them.
