Middle School Curriculum:

Middle School Curriculum"Life's little ups and downs" hardly seem "little" to students who are experiencing so many changes from day to day.

Your students constantly are dealing with things that could throw any adult into a tailspin. So how can you help them to survive and thrive in the midst of their life rollercoaster?

Highway Visual Curriculum gives you the tools to help your students with life. By focusing on issues, and using compelling video segments and a unique leader's guide, this DVD package will help you lead your students through the ride.

Each of the five lessons contains sections to help you customize material for middle school, high school, and even general church use. Five unforgettable production dramas, comedies, interviews, music videos, documentary/mockumentary formats are biblically based with practical application-points, about...

  •    Rejection and acceptance

  •    Understanding God

  •    Dealing with your parents

  •   Surviving with friends

  •    Resisting peer pressure

 

High School Curriculum:

High School CurriculumStudents love being part of a great youth group. The only thing they love more is an authentic community.

Experiencing Christ Together is about transforming small groups into communities that will draw students closer to Jesus. It contains 36 sessions spread across six books that allow students to spend time with Jesus over the course of a school year and discover how to model their lives after his.

And within each study are six lessons that focus on important aspects of living in community:

 

 

  •    STARTING lays down scriptural foundations and lets students get to know each other.

  •    CONNECTING helps students understand, build, and enjoy the intimacy that comes with true fellowship.

  •    GROWING ties the person of Jesus to the hearts of students as they discover that loving him means living like disciples.

  •    SERVING students uncover their gifts and find ways to use their God-given abilities to serve others.

  •    SHARING shows students the great honor and joy of sharing God with the world he came to save.

  •    SURRENDERING lets students experience the joy of letting go of their lives for the sake of Christ.

Each study gives students the chance to know each other better, spend time in Scripture, reflect on what they're learning, and be accountable to each other. The companion DVD provides biblical instruction from great teachers such as Doug Fields, Duffy Robbins, Helen Musick, Efrem Smith, Marv Penner, and Mike Yaconelli.

Experiencing Christ Together is more than just a year's worth of small group studies.  It's a way that students can move closer to God and learn to share his love with each other.
