Preteens experience a lot. They experience all sorts of feelings and emotions as they begin to hit adolescence. So we can’t forget them when it comes to Sunday school. In fact, we should do the exact opposite and intentionally meet them where they are.

These kids deserve to know that Jesus is with them in the middle. He sees them exactly as they are and can meet them there. And they deserve our attention too.

Here are some free materials you can use with the preteens at your church!

Use this grab-and-go preteen lesson to teach preteens that God gives them strength. God is strength!

Despite Samson often displeasing the Lord, God gave strength to Samson to fight the Philistines and lead Israel as a judge for 20 years. The Spirit of the Lord was on Samson giving strength. The same Spirit of the Lord was on Jesus when He was ministering on earth.

These kids deserve to know that Jesus is with them in the middle.
