A practical framework for preteen ministry

Sean Sweet’s guide centers on helping 9–12-year-olds take ownership of their Christian faith. Its approach brings together effective questions, experiential learning and movement, and opportunities for choice, while also addressing the balance between challenge and safety. Identity formation is another part of the framework, alongside the book’s guiding idea of giving preteens room to grow while accompanying them in that process. The focus is on ministry practice for fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders, with a structure intended to help leaders and teams build an intentional program.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Church ministry leaders developing programs for 9–12-year-olds
  • Ministry teams seeking practical ideas for faith formation with preteens

Book overview

It's the only way it works. Preteens are beyond elementary ministry once their brains start changing, and the way they do everything becomes new. Behavioral problems are just the beginning, but that really isn't the problem. They are ready for more and need intentional preteen ministry. Seize this short window of time. You won't get this chance again.

 

Written for ministry leaders and their teams, this book will provide a practical foundation as you grow a ministry in which 9-12 year olds in 4th, 5th and 6th grades take ownership of their faith in Jesus Christ.

 

This book is packed full of ways to create space for preteens to move toward:

  • a faith in God that is THEIRS
  • a love of God's Word that is THEIRS
  • a walk with Jesus Christ that is THEIRS

 

Reading this book, you will learn the essentials of Intentional Preteen Ministry:

  • Using effective questions
  • Incorporating experiential learning and movement
  • Balancing challenge and safety
  • Understanding the beginnings of identity formation
  • Providing opportunities for power and choice
  • Letting go and running beside
