YPT CURRICULUM

Honoring the Lord with your Head, Heart, & Hands

We aren’t the first generation of Christians who are concerned about the next generation.

For nearly 2000 years, Christ’s Church made disciples through a framework called catechesis. This discipleship plan was built around Christian Doctrine (Head), Christian Spirituality (Heart), and Christian Living (Hands). This approach invites believers to honor the Lord as whole people rather than seeing discipleship as education, an experience, or life-coaching. If we want to give the next generation a faith they can grow into, then we need to engage the whole person with the gospel.

Each year, the YPT Curriculum will release three 12-week series, one in each branch of catechesis. Each lesson will include questions about head/heart/hands in the application section since we want students to follow Christ with their whole selves. The plan below is subject to change but will give you a vision of what we have in mind.
