How much should youth ministry curriculum cost?
Supposing a youth pastor making around $10 an hour puts 2 hours of study, preparation, and development into each lesson he teaches (a low estimation), over the course of a year, the cost would come to around $1,000.
When your church registers for a Word of Life program, it can cost you 75% less than that total (only $249 per year for a 3 year registration). Each of our lessons are written by an experienced, active youth minister who ministers to churches and students of their own. The lessons are then taught to a group of 3 other writers and critiqued for doctrine, practicality, and cultural relevance. This process ensures that at least 20 hours of study, critique, and editing go into each lesson. You could pay someone $20 to work for 2 hours on a lesson, or you could get our curriculum and pay a little less than $5 for 20 hours of work on a lesson. Let your youth workers spend more time on relationship building and discipleship and less time sitting behind a desk typing up teaching notes and creating PowerPoints.
Along with 44 lessons, the curriculum also includes:
- 2 of our 4-week topical mini-series.
- A unique, unlocked, fully customizable PowerPoint presentation for each lesson.
- Instant, internet access to your lessons (downloadable in MSWord of PDF format).
- Access to our online community of hundreds of other teachers from around the country where resources, ideas, and tools can be shared. It's called
Teacher >> Source.
You're thinking, "Wow, that's some really great value." We think so too. But curriculum is like the proverbial tip of the iceberg:
- We're committed to a Biblical model of discipleship, so we'll give you training to help your leaders get into kids lives and help them grow in their relationship with God.
- We'll give you tools to help your students spend daily time in the Word, memorize scripture, and start serving God right now where they are.
- We're also committed to your success. We have experienced youth ministry consultants all over the country that will work with your church to develop a ministry that is vibrant and growing. These men will come along side you to encourage you, serve you, and spur you on.
- We'll help you reach your community through local outreach events put on entirely by your church.
