Junior High Lessons & Games | Ministry to Youth

Here are some of our FREE Junior High lessons and games. Loads more are available in our online shop.

We help youth ministry leaders save time and money.

Obviously, free content saves you money. Awesome! But “free” doesn’t mean “low quality”. Our team of writers, who are all youth ministry leaders like yourself, create these materials to be top notch—just like the lessons ad games available in our online shop.

You’re saving time, you’re saving money and, best of all, you’re guiding students to Jesus with these free materials.

Your role as a youth ministry leader is vitally important. Whether you’re a full-time youth pastor, bi-vocational youth pastor, or small group leader, YOU have the privilege of pointing students to Jesus. You get to join in on God’s activity in the lives of young people. That’s so cool.

Keep up the great work you’re doing!
