PRETEEN TARGETED. Our curriculum is preteen targeted. Our team knows preteens and what makes them tick. Every single lesson is written with the spiritual, emotional, physical and mental development of 4th-6th graders in mind.

SERIES ARTWORK includes cover image for promotional use and blank text image for making your own presentation slides.

ALL OUR RESOURCES ARE WRITTEN BY PRETEEN LEADERS like you who have a heart to see God move in the lives of students.

OUR STUFF IS TOP NOTCH. We don't just throw together an outline and sell it to you. Our team, who has been creating 4th-6th grade curriculum since 2010, puts a lot of time and effort creating quality lessons that are jam-packed with more than enough teaching material.

OUR PRETEEN CURRICULUM IS FOR:

Big or Small Preteen Ministry: We write our curriculum for both big and small preteen ministries. Whatever the size of your group, you can edit as needed to fit the needs of your preteen ministry.
All Denominations (and Non-Denominations): All our lessons are theologically broad enough for all church denominations (and non-denominations). We stay central to the core truths of Christianity and don't focus on denominational differences.
Sunday School or Small Groups: Does your church have an active Sunday School program? Our curriculum is a good fit for you. If your group has more than 12 preteens, then use our curriculum as a tool to disciple them in a small group setting.

WHAT MAKES OUR PRETEEN CURRICULUM UNIQUE?

Preteens are unique. They need—and deserve—their own ministry curriculum.

Here are 5 important ways our custom curriculum meets preteen needs:

1) Preteens are beginning to think for themselves.

As younger kids, they simply accepted a lot as “truth”. Now, they’re asking questions and considering things from multiple angles. This new questioning nature can naturally extend to matters of faith.
This questioning is good! It’s healthy. Preteens need support to work through their questions and arrive at an authentic, deeply rooted faith.

2) Preteens are in transition from childhood to adolescence.

No longer kids, preteens are still not quite teenagers. They're constantly developing, always in transition. And the change pervades all the areas of their lives: cognitive, physical, social, emotional and—importantly—spiritual.

The changes can be as rapid as they are profound. Excellent preteen ministry curriculum respects and embraces this reality.

3) Preteens want to "own" their relationship with Jesus.

Yes, it is possible for preteens to “own” their relationship with Jesus. They’re ready and willing!

They can notice God’s action in their own lives. They can develop habits of prayer, worship, and Bible reading. In short, they are equipped to nurture their own relationship with God. They are ready to “own” it.

4) Preteens need a coach, not just a teacher.

As ministry leaders, we must foster an environment for God to move in the lives of preteens. In this respect, our role is less like a teacher, and more like a coach.

Many preteen ministry leaders think of themselves as teachers, imparting information, helping their students to “get it”. And teaching is part of the job, to be sure. But it’s just the beginning of the job.

A coach guides and encourages. They equip others for success. Ultimately, however, a coach sits on the sidelines. It is the players who must put all the coaching and the teaching into action.

And they will make mistakes. So the coaching continues, and over time the preteen grows into an adult who can act as their own coach.

5) Preteens learn by doing.

How often do you hear people gush over the impressive listening skills of preteens? The fact is that preteens learn much better by doing than by listening.

Preteens love to play games, use their hands, feel the rush of surprise and action. To be really open to any process, it helps for preteens to feel that they are a part of it from beginning to end.

Our preteen curriculum is loaded with fun-tested games and hands-on activities that feed the restless and active preteen spirit.

I enjoy purchasing this curriculum for my students. The lessons give me a great base to build from or just use what is there if I am in a pinch. The graphics are top notch and games are provided if that's your ministry model. Always great stuff!!
