I have never found a Sunday School curriculum that I like so I make my own lessons plan worksheets each week. Far from the "bubblegum" Sunday School lessons frequently found at your local bookstore, these Youth Group Lesson plans handle serious doctrinal issues in a way that kids can understand.

These Christian Sunday School lessons are tailored to the Middle School age youth group but can be adapted and taught many ways (see my suggestions). Each has been taught and refined several times. Many include activities or games that help drive home the lesson. All include a leaders guide. The list is in no particular order.

While the Sunday School Lesson Plans are free to use, please respect my copyrights by leaving the credit statement on the sheet when you make copies for your class. I'd love to get your feedback (e-mail).

If supplies are needed for the lessons I have provided links to sources for those supplies for your convenience. I hope these lessons enhance your youth ministry experience.

Lesson Plan worksheet
A Pattern for Faith The goal of this lesson is to instill the core belief that
The Holy Bible is a trustworthy pattern for our faith. This lesson presents the internal-proof that the Bible is the unchanging, infallible word of God.

It is a one page, color lesson plan with a pre-lesson activity that makes the point. About 15 minutes for the activity and 15 minutes for the lesson. The activity takes some pre-planning.

Youth Ministry Tips


What's God Up To?
The goal of this lesson is to expand teens realization
of the intimate relationship sunday school lessonGod has planned for us with the culmination of time.

Biblical knowledge is hard pressed to keep up with the excitement and adrenaline rush provided by today’s entertainment. Kids are bored with Christianity. If they only knew what they were in for the inexpressible joy promised by God when we unite with Him.

This lesson is a real eye-opener for the kids and adults as Christianity hasn't been taught in exactly this light.

This is a two page lesson plan with a pre-lesson activity (no preparation or supplies needed) and teachers guide.

The game came from the book shown below..

How to Share Your Faith

Sharing Your Faith Without An Argument:

This method of evangelism was pioneered by Bill Fay. He now calls it: Share Jesus Without Fear. I teach this method of evangelism to the kids because it's very easy. Almost every time I teach it someone in the class surrenders their life to Jesus for the first time. We usually experience a jump in attendance as kids begin sharing and inviting their friends to the group. I suggest purchasing a quantity of the Bible shown in the left column for the kids to use as sharing Bibles.

I have tried to get permission to use the same title but no one ever calls me back -so here it is until someone asks me to stop.

Here is a link to Bill Fay's website: click here He is available for speaking engagements for very reasonable costs.

Here's a link to buy Bill Fay's book . I recommend getting Bill Fay's CD of his presentation. It'll get you excited to teach the lesson and help your delivery of the material so the kids get excited too.

Here is a link to RBC Ministries to upload a free copy of Bill's booklet describing in more detail this method of sharing: click here. Order free copies of the booklet: click here.

Note: Of course this isn't the only method of sharing your faith, but it's one way, and it works. Different people have different sharing styles.

Wouldn't want to infringe on a copyright.)

Here's another of my favorite evangelism training courses.

Again, someone comes to Christ in every class.


There are participants books and leaders guide.
