What's the best way to implement elements in my youth ministry?

Great question. (We like the way you think.) Since elements is based on foundational concepts, it provides a ton of flexibility. You can implement elements in quite few ways, including the following:

• Use elements as your Sunday morning Bible study curriculum, teaching all core 25 concepts.
• Choose a specific study (such as grace, or God's love) as a three-week emphasis for your mid-week gathering.
• Take a three-week break from your regular curriculum to focus on one of elements' core concepts.
• Take a semester to teach through a combination of elements studies of your choosing.
• Let students choose a core concept to study in their small groups.

Is the elements Bible study curriculum designed for Sunday mornings?

Most definitely. The elements Bible study curriculum is a perfect fit for your Sunday mornings! Teach through all 25 core concepts, or choose the concepts you're most interested in. ALSO, the elements Bible study curriculum is great for other uses such as: discipleship groups, mid-week Bible studies, and Small Groups!

Can I get a physical copy of the elements Bible study curriculum?

The elements Bible Study Curriculum is 100% downloadable. Going digital allows us to pass along tremendous savings to you. We get to deliver a solid Bible study curriculum for a fraction of the price you might pay elsewhere. However, keep in mind that lesson plans are editable and printable. You'll be able to have a hard copy in your hands as you teach!

Will there be more elements studies developed other than the first 25?

Not at this time. We worked with a few different groups of youth workers from different backgrounds to identify these 25 concepts. The studies you see here represent the entire elements Bible study curriculum line. Collectively, the entire line provides a total of 75 weeks of curriculum!

Is there a set order for teaching through the elements Bible study curriculum?

Nope! We worked with youth workers to define the 25 individual concepts covered in elements. And while we've loosely grouped related concepts together in "volumes," there's no set order or sequence, per se. Choose one or two studies out of a volume. Or teach the entire volume in the order we've suggested, or in an order that works for your group!

At ym360, one of our values is a commitment to producing resources that are high quality and budget friendly. We believe elements is a perfect combination of the two!

Here's a rundown of elements pricing:

• MIX AND MATCH: You pick your quantity with this option and discounts are applied based on total quantity!
• ANY ONE, INDIVIDUAL STUDY: 19.99 (total of 3 weeks each, only 6.67 per week)
• ANY 5 STUDIES: 79.00 (total of 15 weeks, only 5.26 per week)
• THE ENTIRE LIBRARY: 299.00 (total of 75 weeks, only 3.98 per week)

Why is each elements study only three weeks each?

Because big things come in small packages, that's why! Seriously, we wanted to create a curriculum that was super-solid, but easy to access and teach. We worked to come up with an awesome 3-lesson framework for teaching these core concepts. We call them our three "lenses." We think you'll find they create a really great approach for teaching these concepts.
