How ENCOUNTER™ Curriculum Works

Every week, ENCOUNTER™ provides a complete, four-step lesson plan. Each step contains two options, allowing the teacher to choose from activities that best suits your class.  Options include “hands-on” activities like drama, art, and games as well as intellectually engaging research, reporting, and discussion. Student pages, video, audio, and posters equip teachers to easily lead activities while allowing students to participate fully.

Each week’s lesson follows 4 easy steps:

• Setting the Stage—students define the week’s topic
• Searching the Word—students get into the Bible
• Making It Real—students learn how the topic applies to their world
• Living It Out—students apply the week’s topic to their personal lives

In addition, ENCOUNTER—The Magazine challenges students to bring home what they have studied. This eight-page magazine contains engaging articles and stories, daily lesson-related devotions, and even invitations to go online and blog about a topic of the week!

With eNCOUNTER Downloads for Small Groups, The Magazine also becomes small group material! Download a FREE four-page session guide to lead a small group session that coordinates with your weekly lesson using an article from the student magazine.

Do your teens need to get connected with God? No curriculum gives you more resources to do just that than ENCOUNTER™.

Every week Encounter challenges students with an engaging Bible topic that helps them understand God, the Bible, Christian Doctrine or Christian Worldviews. Your students experience lessons in a variety of ways to fit their learning.
