EPISCOPAL CURRICULUM FOR YOUTH

Episcopal Curriculum for Youth challenges young people (ages 12-18) to test their values in the context of their Christian faith. It equips them to make smart choices about tough issues. The Younger Youth (Middle School and Junior High) segment makes Biblical characters come to life as real people who dealt with issues of good and evil, happiness, truth and ultimate meaning. Materials include 12 leader’s guides with nine sessions each, session leaflets and a poster pack. The Older Youth (Senior High) segment helps young people explore the issues, values and faith that will become life-long spiritual resources. Materials include 12 guides for adults and youth leaders and a poster pack. ECY curriculum can be used for Sunday School, youth-group meetings, retreats, conferences or anywhere youth come together.

OLDER YOUTH

As maturing young adults, senior high youth confront a myriad of life-shaping decisions. ECY builds a leadership team that helps young people explore the issues, values, and faith that will become the core of their life-long spiritual resource.

As part of the team young people learn to speak up, discuss their views, and listen to others. They also learn to lead.

Guides
Twelve guides for older youth each present nine full sessions of material—complete with compelling questions, useful guidance, and interesting activities. They also include an array of ways adults can identify and encourage youth leaders, like suggestions for leadership retreats. Purchase one Guide for the adult mentor and others for members of the leadership team.

Poster Pack
Original art, informative graphics, compelling photography— an older youth Poster Pack accompanies each module, and helps bring its lessons to life.

 

YOUNGER YOUTH

The middle and junior high school years are turbulent times — where personalities are formed and values tested. Episcopal Curriculum for Youth makes Biblical characters come to life as real people who dealt with issues of good and evil, happiness, truth, and ultimate meaning … not unlike today’s young people.

In addition, the younger youth segment includes a “basics” session, which covers the foundations of the Anglican tradition.

	Old Testament	New Testament	Contemporary Times	Basics
Call	Called by God	Called by Jesus	Called Through Faith	Sacraments of the Church
Covenant	Covenant Ancestors	New Covenant Disciples	People of the Promise	Episcopal Church Year

Youth Bibles and Prayer Books
Personal copies of The Holy Bible (NRSV) and The Book of Common Prayer are strongly recommended for all youth. These special, soft-cover editions may be purchased as part of the curriculum materials.

Leader’s Guide
There are 12 younger youth Leader’s Guides, each with nine sessions. Basic enough for beginning teachers, resource-rich for veteran teachers. Leader’s Guides include creative activities, discussion ideas, games, and more. Great for youth group meetings, retreats, lock-ins, church trips, and more.

Session Leaflets
Each session is supported by a Session Leaflet. Designed to carry the session’s lessons into the rest of the week, leaflets include a key verse, youth-written prayer, memorable quotes, youth commentaries, and daily devotions.

Poster Pack
A full-color poster pack is available for each unit. The maps, colorful art, and
helpful charts become a visual focus for group discussions throughout the unit.
