FourFiveSix.org: Great Ideas for your Preteen Ministry

Today on the podcast, you’ll get a simple idea that can slightly tweak the way you’ll teach. This one little change can make a big difference to engage the preteens in the lesson.

This idea was inspired by the SuperStart! preteen weekend event.

If you put together the greatest message for your preteens, you may miss an important part of the lesson development process.

On today’s podcast, Sean talks about the second pass at a lesson, when you think about more than just what you’re teaching, but HOW you are going to teach it. When it comes to preteens, WHO they are means that HOW you teach is just as important as what you are trying to teach.

You only have so much time with the preteens in your ministry each week. Let’s say you have 90 minutes, from the beginning of check-in until the preteens are dismissed. How many of those moments do you want to have as “wasted” moments?

In order to optimize your service, it’s necessary to be more intentional when it comes to the elements of your service. Are there certain elements that you could eliminate? Are there elements that you could shorten? What is the best use of your service time, and how can you line up every element of your service with God’s purpose for your ministry? These things (and more) are precisely what Sean, Jaime, and Chris discuss on today’s podcast.

Preteens love choices. And choices are helpful for preteens as they learn to own their own faith. Many moons ago, we recorded this episode all about giving preteens choices.

Today, we look at one way to really let go of the bike and allow preteens to own their walk with the Lord: by giving them moments during service where they choose their own adventure.

Listen to today’s podcast as Sean and Dayna share some ideas of how to make your service a “Choose Your Own Adventure” for preteens.

This is our 200th great idea podcast! Woohoo!

Today’s podcast is an idea lifted from the Deeply Rooted Curriculum.

Today, Sean discusses using Social Media moments DURING service, including how to overcome some of the obstacles to making this succeed.

Do you have leaders standing in the back of the room while all of your preteens are sitting up front? Do you want your leaders to sit among your students instead of sitting back?

Today on the podcast, Sean explores several ways to get your leaders to be physically present within the midst of the preteens in your ministry space.

Do you have a great way to get leaders sitting with the students that wasn’t mentioned on today’s podcast? Share it in the comment section below.
