Radiant Life™ Fall 2026 Young Teen

Grades 7–8
Fall (September, October, November)

Radiant Life Young Teen meets students in grades 7-8 right where they are as they grow into their faith.

Built on a 3-year scope and sequence, the curriculum features question and discussion-driven lessons that encourage active participation and critical thinking rather than passive listening—making your class feel like they're part of the lesson as students bounce ideas off each other and remember what they've learned.

Topics intentionally connect to both students' level of development and the struggles they face in daily life, addressing current issues relevant to today's youth so biblical truth never feels like a stretch to apply. Multiple activity options give you the flexibility to customize class based on your group size, time constraints, and student preferences.

Memory verses are chosen intentionally for the age group, ensuring Scripture memorization remains relevant and meaningful during these formative teenage years.

With special teacher training pages and holiday-focused lessons for Christmas and Easter, it's an engaging, discussion-driven curriculum—equipped to connect with and minister to this important age group.
