Description

This website offers curriculum options for Christian youth ministry leaders who seek culturally relevant lessons that help GenZ explore and apply their faith. Reframe Curriculum believes young people need opportunities to internalize the Bible’s relevance to their lives, connect with God and each other through vulnerable and meaningful conversations, and develop their faith through regular practice.

Reframe Curriculum focuses on topics and themes that young people find engaging and that meet their social and developmental needs, such as mental health and questions about one’s faith. The curriculum also helps youth build the confidence and trust needed to interpret scripture and provides frameworks for discussing scripture, such as the Book of James or Philippians, in ways that are meaningful to them. Each weekly lesson includes a guide, supporting media such as a podcast, and material for promoting the series to your congregation’s youth.
