Created in collaboration with The Book of Belonging , this curated four-week curriculum is designed intentionally for middle school and high school students who are curious, thoughtful, and discovering what faith and belonging mean for them.
This curriculum honors teenagers’ intellect and emotions while embracing deeply human questions at the heart of Advent: Where do I belong? What does it mean to trust God? What is “good news”? How does heaven meet earth?
This resource blends Jesus-centered theology, rich storytelling, spiral teaching, and creative engagement to help tweens and teens explore faith in ways that feel safe, joyful, and authentic.
Christmas is more than nostalgia - it’s a radical story of love showing up where no one expected it: a teenage girl, field-sleeping shepherd kids, and ordinary places.
This curriculum invites students to see themselves in that story —
loved, chosen, included, and capable of meeting God in everyday life.
