Anchored Youth Ministry Curriculum

What is Anchored?

Anchored is a small group bible study curriculum that helps students find common ground within the faith, so they are better prepared to interact with the ever-changing ways of the world.
 
Anchored teaches difficult topics that are addressed with doctrinal and apologetical style lessons. And the good news is, students who have grown up in church will receive just as much help as students who have only recently come to faith.

REAL STORIES FROM REAL YOUTH PASTORS

"This year long curriculum is absolutely incredible! I am using this curriculum for 7th-12th grade Sunday morning bible studies. My teachers and students have been engaged every week with the studies that have been put together. This has been an easy win for our student ministry."

"First let me say I really enjoy going through my YM360 curriculum with our students. The units don't shy away from the tough subjects, but are also super relatable for our students. The organization of the lessons and helpful tips is a huge asset to our teachers as well. They allow our teachers who don't have a seminary degree to feel comfortable teaching the Bible."

"Our adult teachers are very impressed with the lessons in your studies, and the students enjoy it as well. Thank you for providing excellence in your ministry!"
