Small Group Bundle

All our small group series are discussion based. Each lesson is 50% reading the Bible/teaching and 50% student discussion. They’re not 90% teaching and 10% discussion, like our other youth ministry series and small group studies you’ll find elsewhere.

The goal is for students to talk about the Bible, what it means to follow Jesus, their questions & doubts, what God is doing in their lives, and so on. This format encourages group interaction, personal application, and keeps students engaged. Getting students talking about their faith is the secret sauce to a small group, and all our series are formatted with that goal in mind.

The format is simple, but effective:

Read a passage of Scripture.
Make a point that students will remember.
Ask questions and discuss it.
Repeat 3-4 times per lesson.

Biblically Rooted
The Bible, like the roots of a tree, bring life, nourishment and stability to your students’ lives. Scripture deepens their relationship with God, gives them the wisdom to make good decisions, brings clarity to the problems they face, and so much more. In each small group series, students dive deep into a book of the Bible, which will firmly root them in God’s Word and provide a foundation to build their lives upon.

Strategic Path to Discipleship
We’ve created a strategic path to discipleship. Each small group series focuses on key components of what it means to follow Jesus. Discipleship is the never-ending process of loving God and serving others. As students learn and grow in their walk with God, their thoughts, actions and lives are transformed. Throughout these 52 weeks, students will go on a journey to discover what it means to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

God-Centered Relationships 
These small group series provide students an opportunity to develop God-centered relationships with others. As we read throughout the New Testament, discipleship happens in the context of relationships. The goal is to create an environment where students: know others and are known; accept others and are accepted; love others and are loved; and pray for others and are prayed for. We’re intentional about helping them grow in their relationship with God and others.

Online or In Person Youth Group
Use our curriculum for small groups when doing online youth group or in person. Each series is flexible enough for either option.

Small Groups
If your youth group has more than 12 students, then use our curriculum as a tool to disciple students in a small group setting.

Sunday School
Does your church have an active Sunday School program? Our curriculum is a good fit for you.

Small Churches
Does your youth ministry have less than 12 students? Our curriculum is specifically designed with you in mind.

Saving youth ministry leaders time is a personal thing for me, and here's why...

Back in the early days of ministry, I was young and single. I spent just about all my time doing ministry related stuff: planning events, building relationships with students, coordinating weekend services, recruiting/training volunteers, etc.

I was also a full-time seminary student.

I had a passion for pointing students to Jesus and being a part of what God was doing in their lives.

I eventually graduated from seminary, fell in love with my wife Jena, got married and had three kids pretty close together in age (all about 1 1/2 years apart).

Juggling the needs of a young family and ministry were difficult. I struggled for years with trying to balance the two.

About 5 years after graduating seminary, I took 1½ years off of full-time ministry and transitioned into another non-ministry job.

I nearly burnt out, and wasn't sure if I would ever return to full-time ministry. My inability to set boundaries and find ministry/family/life balance took a big toll on myself and family. That toll was a 100% on me and I owned it.

God was faithful. He wasn't done with me yet. I spent that year and a half growing, learning, healing, and developing a healthy work/life balance that would serve me for the rest of my life.

An opportunity came up, and I was ready to go back into full-time ministry. So, I went for it.

I learned a lot about self-care, myself, and God during my time off. And I was able to maintain ministry/family/life balance in my new ministry role.

So, when we launched Ministry to Youth back in 2014...I knew a big thing we were going to do is save youth leaders time. This bundle is one way we do that.

We save you time because you don't have to create youth ministry lessons and games from scratch.

That way you can better balance life and juggle the many demands of ministry.

Furthermore...

Due to the pandemic, many youth ministries are operating on a really tight or non-existent. budget.

This bundle saves you money because you get an 88% discount!

Saving you money, especially in these unusual times, is really important to us.

It's a big part of everything we do.

- Nick Diliberto, Ministry to Youth

EVERYTHING IS DOWNLOADABLE. After purchase, you'll be directed to the download page and get an email that includes a link to download all the resources. Feel free to share the download link with volunteers. The bundle is only available as a downloadable product.

FOR YOUTH MINISTRY. The resources included in the bundle are written to be used with teenagers in 6th-12th grade.

LESSONS COME IN PDF & WORD format so you can edit as needed and share with volunteers.

SERIES ARTWORK includes cover image for promotional use.

LESSONS include this format: 1) Read a passage of Scripture. 2) Make a point that students will remember. 3) Ask questions and discuss it. Repeat 3-4 times in one lesson. Although the lessons aren't meant to be read word for word (we encourage you to make it your own), included is a detailed script for leaders to follow.

ALL OUR RESOURCES ARE WRITTEN BY YOUTH LEADERS like you who have a heart to see God move in the lives of students.

OUR STUFF IS TOP NOTCH. We don't just throw together an outline or teaching notes and sell it to you. We create a full lesson, giving you more than enough to customize it and make it your own.

HERE'S WHAT YOUTH LEADERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED A BUNDLE FROM US HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR RESOURCES:

“Your resources are some of the best I have ever used. They are ready to go from download. Thank you!” - Jason Hollenbeck

“Your resources have been a life-saver for youth group programming! Sometimes my creativity just gets tapped out. I am very thankful for your ministry!” – Douglas McDaniel

“On a scale of 1-10, the resources I downloaded were definitely a 10! My students loved the games and the content is current enough to still be engaging.” – Clark Fraser

“I would rate the resource as a 10++!!! I have had exciting results from the lessons that I have shared with our youth so far! It is so nice to have a series that I can rely on to be thoughtful, energetic, and requires very little actual prep time. Thank you for sharing and for caring about the youth of America!!!” - Kevin Dunaway

Here are some reasons you might think the bundle is not for you:

I'M NOT SURE YOUR LESSONS LINE UP WITH OUR CHURCH'S THEOLOGY.

View our statement of faith here. All our lessons are theologically broad enough for all church denominations (and non-denominations). We stay central to the core truths of Christianity and don't focus on denominational differences.

I DON'T HAVE THE BUDGET.

We certainly know what it's like to be on a shoe-string budget. Instead of focusing on the cost of the bundle, look at how much you're saving - YOU SAVE 88%. And think of all the cool stuff you're getting for such a low price. You get 52 weeks of small group series on 14 books of the Bible for only $199 with the small group bundle, which adds up to only pennies a day. That's an amazing deal! If you put your mind to it, I'm sure you can figure out a way to make that small investment in your youth ministry.

I ONLY WANT TO PURCHASE PHYSICAL PRODUCTS, NOT DOWNLOADABLE RESOURCES.

Even though we live in a digital world, you might be a bit apprehensive about not actually getting physical products. We get it. The upside of downloadable resources is that you get them instantly and can share them right away with your volunteer team. And if you experience any download issues, then contact our support team here and we'll be happy to help you right away.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH MINISTRY TO YOUTH.

We're a team of experienced youth ministry leaders who have a heart to equip youth leaders around the world. Being a youth leader isn't easy, and we exist to make your job easier. Learn more about us here.

I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL ACTUALLY LIKE YOUR RESOURCES.

No worries, we understand. View some our free lessons and games in the "Taste the Awesomeness of Our Stuff" section near the top of this page. Keep in mind that our paid stuff is even bigger and better than our free stuff.
