This page consists of lessons, retreats, and ideas that you can download and use as you see fit. Feel free to modify the stuff and make it fit your own youth group. Copy and use the stuff as much as you want. Please don't publish any of this material without asking me first. (When I am creating lessons for my own youth group I don't always document my sources properly - I don't want to be accused of pladgerizing.) If you are interested in publishing anything just shoot me an e-mail and we can work something out and I can work on fully documented material, along with leader guides and anything else you may need to have a complete set of curriculum.

Bible SMASH

Bible SMASH is an intense Bible Study. It's not for everyone. It's for those students that wish to take the commitment to God to the next level. Each Bible SMASH lasts about 2-3 hours - including praise songs and "food time". The core of the time is spent really studying the word of God. Bible SMASH stands for:
  • Study
  • Memorize
  • Analyze
  • Share
  • Honor

Skits

"Dude wants me to be Holy..." student version
"Dude wants me to be Holy..." leader version

A skit based on Leviticus 19:1-10. Two "dudes" are talking to each other about Moses, and what he has to say, as Moses is addressing the people of Isreal. Being Holy: The only thing that can come between you and God is you.

  • Volunteer Prisoner
    It is a three day retreat and the topics covered are:
    • Day 1 talks about being Christians because we want to, not because we have to.
    • Day 2 talks about sharing what we believe with "others".
    • Day 3 helps us determine who "others" are, and ways to share Christ.
