SEEN

 

STUDENTS ARE SEEN AND KNOWN

 

SEEN curriculum helps you provide a safe and nurturing environment for students to discover the truth and wisdom of God—all while processing what they see in the world.

 

SEEN helps youth leaders speak about difficult subjects to young people, including those who may have already endured hard circumstances. Sessions have practical tips and training to help leaders (from new volunteers to seasoned veterans) be sensitive to the particular needs of teens who are experiencing the effects of stress, trauma, and conflict in their lives. Every student should feel seen and known in their church, their family, and their community. Walk alongside them as they build confidence that God sees, knows, and loves them too.

STUDENTS DISCOVER RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.

In the first year of SEEN, students are steeped in the foundational beliefs of Christianity as they learn about:

  • Who God is

  • Why we trust His Word
