Crafting a Bible Lesson

Youth Leader Handbook Series - Crafting a Bible Lesson for Your Student Ministry

Overview

Planning a summer camp Bible lesson? See how this guide helps you engage campers’ heads, hearts, and hands.

Crafting a Bible lesson for youth is vital for effective discipleship. Every youth leader needs lessons that engage learners’ heads (thoughts), hearts (emotions), and hands (actions). As Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, true discipleship involves principles to know, passions to feel, and practices to do.

This youth ministry resource shows you how to start crafting a Bible lesson for your youth, step-by-step. Whether you’re preparing for a Sunday youth group, Easter service, or summer camp, this handbook is your guide. It outlines four clear lesson components to help you fully engage your students.

“I run a youth group but am still learning how to write studies and get students engaged. I’m a full-time diesel mechanic that does this because God called me to serve! I just want to try to better myself so that I can effectively reach my students.”—Noah, Canada
