Set Apart: Helping Preteens Pursue Holiness

Set Apart is a bold, 4-week preteen ministry series designed to help preteens understand what it means to live holy lives in a world that constantly pushes them to fit in.

This series contains special features which set it apart. Look what's included for free when you purchase Set Apart:

1. SLIDES: Preteens tend to respond well to visual instruction. Many preteens watch YouTube and Instagram rather than listen to the radio. Adding a small screen (even a laptop) will allow you to use the slides to make each lesson stick!
2. VIDEO: Enhance each lesson with OPTIONAL videos you can play from a laptop, a TV, or any screen. Each lesson's video content helps to keep preteens' attention and support what you're teaching them in person. However, you can teach the lessons WITHOUT these videos if you prefer.
3. AUDIO: Each lesson has OPTIONAL audio tracks, including music for transitions and sound FXs that support teaching points. Once again, you can teach the lessons WITHOUT these audio tracks if you prefer.

In this 4-week series, your preteens will learn how God has set them apart and joyfully embrace their God-honoring identity as God's ambassadors:

🧭 Lesson 1: Just a Little Different?
James 1:19–25, 1 John 2:16–17
→ What does it really mean to be different… and does it matter?

🌿 Lesson 2: Anointed
1 Peter 2:9–12, 1 Samuel 16:13
→ They’ll discover they’re chosen, equipped, and called by God.

📅 Lesson 3: Not Just Different
Genesis 2:2–3, Exodus 3:5
→ How we set apart our time and space shows what we value.

🦎 Lesson 4: Chameleons
Romans 12:1–3, Matthew 5:16
→ Don’t blend in. Shine bright for Jesus in a dark world.

Each Lesson Included:

1. Opening Game & Lesson Intro to set up the lesson.
2. Bible Reading Time where preteens learn to read God's Word FOR THEMSELVES and discuss it in Small Groups.
3. Interactive Lessons that draw preteens into the discovery of Biblical truths.
4. Response Time when preteens will engage in "workshop-style" activities that challenge them to think more deeply about what they are learning and move into action.
