Who is God? Does He care what I do with my life? Does God really love me? These days many young people are confused about God. Help youth workers provide a solid foundation for young teens with The Christian Life junior high school study resource.

Students will learn that God loves them no matter what; Jesus Christ is the only way to have a relationship with God; and the Holy Spirit lights the way to God. The three four-week modules examine one of the most critical parts of a young person's life, their faith.
