But what are our teens learning throughout the whole year? What will they learn, know, feel do by the time that they exit this Ignite Ministry?
These are all excellent questions, and ones that we all find very important. They guide everything we do. Ignite looks beyond the typically random Sunday night lesson planning. Teens will learn who God is. They will know the Bible, its teachings, and its impact and necessity for every day living. Teens will feel and see God actively in their lives. They will learn to look for him, to seek him out, and to pray and commune wit God daily. Because we look beyond the week to week grind we have a four-year curriculum system in place that we use based on the High School Live Curriculum set from Simply Youth Ministry. We are in the process of of working towards a full 7 year rotation but that is not set in stone quite yet. Below is the 4 year curriculum work up. It is from this that our current series is pulled from. Around let and Advent we typically pull from outside sources, so the curriculum varies, but overall we follow the set programing.
