Our Curriculum:

Our curriculum is called “The Gospel Project”. The Gospel Project helps students center their lives on the gospel, replacing the desire to be “good” with the empowering transformation that comes only from Jesus Christ. These group Bible studies are designed to get as much gospel into your students’ lives as possible, helping them connect to a gospel-filled support system and equipping them for gospel conversations in their community.

The Gospel Project for Students will provide your students with:

  • A Three-Year Journey through Scripture: Students chronologically examine all Scripture through a Christ-centered lens.
  • Christ Connection: Each session shows students how all Scripture points to Christ.
  • Apologetics: Students will not only understand what they believe, but why.
  • Head, Heart, Hands: Helps students to see how the gospel transforms the way they think, feel, and live every day.
  • Interactive Questions: Engages students to think through the session material and how it challenges them today.
