Junior High Lessons & Games

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

We help youth ministry leaders save time and money. If you like what you find here, then be sure to check out our junior high ministry curriculum!

We just released a new year long junior high curriculum, with a 79 % discount and 3 bonus series! In the curriculum, we address the most important issues that students this age face. Issues like: influence, identity, change, choices, belonging, autonomy, etc. We also mixed in series that emphasized specific books or themes of the Bible that resonate with middle schoolers.

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!
