Questions before you plan

Choose well.
Lead with confidence.

Whether you need one month, a full year, or a complete ministry shelf, these answers will help you choose the right starting point and know what happens after purchase.

01
Choose & use a series

Start with the students in front of you.

Do the youth series need to be taught in a certain order?

No. Every series stands on its own. Begin with the question, season, or ministry moment your students are living through now, then choose the next series as your group grows.

How do I know which series is the best fit?

Start with the topic and number of weeks you have. Each product page shows the age range, session count, timing, what is included, and a real sample so you can inspect the teaching style before you buy.

Can I shorten or extend a youth night?

Yes. The complete series are designed with 45-, 60-, and 75-minute paths. Keep the central Scripture and teaching, then choose the activities, discussion, and response pieces that fit your room.

Will a volunteer be able to lead it?

Yes. Leader guides use a clear sequence, estimated times, preparation notes, and words a leader can actually say. Give the guide to a volunteer early, or use it together during a short team huddle.

What if our group is very small or has mixed ages?

Use the small-group adaptations, choose discussion questions appropriate for your students, and replace activities that need a larger room. The plans are a strong starting point, not a script your ministry must follow without adjustment.

02
Plan a year & choose a bundle

Build a year without filling every week.

How can I turn the series into a one-year curriculum?

Use the suggested 37-gathering plan as your core: Who Am I?, Prayer 101, The Road, Launch, New Room, and Fruit Check. The remaining weeks stay open for holidays, retreats, service, student-led nights, and the unexpected interruptions that are part of real ministry.

Do I need to begin the curriculum in January?

No. The plan can begin with the school year, calendar year, or church year. Move seasonal series to the right dates and place identity, prayer, relationships, or emotional-health series where your students need them most.

Should I buy one series or a bundle?

Choose one series when you need a focused answer for the next few weeks. Choose a bundle when you are planning a semester or year, equipping several leaders, or want a shelf of options ready before the calendar changes.

Which bundle should I choose?

Choose Student Life & Relationships for phones, friendship, dating, stress, and pressure. Choose A Full Church Year for seasonal ministry. Choose Bible & Spiritual Formation for Scripture, prayer, and discipleship. Choose the Complete Youth Series Library when you want the broadest long-term collection.

If I buy a bundle, do I receive the complete individual series?

Yes. A bundle collects the same complete series in one purchase; it is not a shortened summary. Check the bundle page for its exact series list, total sessions, and included files.

03
Purchase, files & ministry license

Know what happens after checkout.

What do I receive after purchasing?

You receive a digital download through Payhip. The exact contents are listed on each product page and may include leader guides, student pages, editable documents, slide decks, parent updates, game cards, and promotional graphics.

Can I preview the material before purchasing?

Yes. Open the sample link on the product page to see real pages from the resource. Samples are provided so you can evaluate the voice, theology, lesson flow, and preparation level—not just the cover.

Can our staff and volunteers share the files?

One purchase covers one church or ministry team. Your staff and volunteers may use, print, and adapt the files for that ministry. Please purchase another license for a different church, school, camp, or organization.

Can I edit the lessons for our church?

Yes. Adapt names, examples, timing, and activities for your context. Editable Word or PowerPoint files are included where the product page lists them; print-ready PDFs remain available for teams that want to use the material as written.

Is this a subscription?

No. Individual resources and bundles are one-time purchases. Download the files and keep using them within your licensed ministry; no monthly membership is required.

Where should I begin if I am still unsure?

Open two or three samples, compare the session count with your calendar, and choose the resource that answers your students’ clearest present need. A smaller, well-timed series is usually a better start than an ambitious plan your team cannot sustain.

Still deciding?See the actual pages before you choose.

Every complete youth series includes a real lesson preview. Compare the voice, timing, activities, and student pages with your team.

Forty days · one shared rhythm

Not just Holy Week.

What happened in the group chat

One daily message. Honest responses over time.

For forty days, the same simple rhythm makes faith visible between gatherings. The leader sends the day’s Scripture and questions; students reply in the shared chat, encourage one another, and keep returning the next day.

A taste of the script

Words you can actually say.

“A lot of people think confirmation is how you join the church. Like the church is a club, this class is the application, and at the end you get your membership card. Tonight I’m going to tell you something that might surprise you. If you were baptized, you’re not joining. You’re already in.”

Questions churches will ask

Before you choose a pathway

Is this only for United Methodist churches?

No. The United Methodist edition is complete, while the Director’s Guide maps what churches in other traditions can keep, adapt, or replace and supplies replacement Big Questions.

What if our class meets only 12 times?

Use the 12-week track. It teaches all 12 Core sessions and keeps the same essential faith, while selected Deeper material can be sent home.

Can our church edit the files?

Yes. Documents come as print-ready PDFs and editable Word files. The slide decks are PowerPoint files that also open in Keynote and Google Slides.

How many copies can we make?

One purchase covers one church or ministry. Your team may copy and adapt the materials for its own classes as often as needed.

Which Bible translation is used?

Scripture is quoted from the World English Bible, a public-domain translation that churches can print and project freely.

Will we need to create our own forms?

No. The admin kit includes invitations, covenants, schedules, registration and baptism forms, trackers, faith-statement and pastor-interview guides, and Confirmation Sunday materials.

What NGM Together values

Rooted in identity.
Watered by trust.
Formed together.

We believe lasting faith is formed through more than a lesson. Young people grow when they know who they are in Christ, are known by trustworthy adults, and experience faith within a community that keeps showing up.

01

Identity before achievement

Young people are not empty cups to fill. We help them recognize the worth, gifts, and belonging God has already given.

02

Trust over time

Faith takes root through adults who listen, remember, and keep showing up—not through one impressive event.

03

Faith formed together

Families, generations, and churches each have a part in helping young people remain, grow, and serve in faith.
