SEEN is replacing Encounter for use in all Teen classes
for the Standard curriculum line.
It's fresh, relevant curriculum for today's teens, youth pastors, and parents. The content is built by youth pastors, for youth pastors, to
take their students deeper into God's Word.
It was designed to cultivate relationships and biblical applications that are crucial for the spiritual and personal development of all teens.
SEEN is an expert-tested, life-transforming curriculumfor teens. This discussion-based resourceempowers and equips any youth leader to connect with every student about what they see in the world and to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which they can discover the truth and wisdom of God.
SEEN is a youth curriculum built for both the traditional quarterly Sunday school model and for modular use.
•One age-level for all: Designed to be used for both young teen and high school, with optionaldeeper questions for high school/more sophisticated students.
•Able to be used for the typical Sunday school classroom or for a large group/small groupformat.
•The print (plus digital) curriculum quarters will be released on a typical quarterly schedule, with the first quarter of Year 1 beginning in September of 2020.
•Each quarter of digital curriculum will be released alongside the printed curriculum.
•Two special holiday modules will be supplied in digital format (provided as part of the quarterlycurriculum, but able to be purchased separately for modular users): a 2-session Christmas focusand a 2-session Easter focus.

What content makes up a quarter (or a module)? Three units make up each module. One unit is focused on spiritual growth, one is focused on character development, and one is focused on practical skills for life. Each unit is made up of four sessions in which essential principles are wrestled with and discussed through a biblical worldview.
Who was SEEN created by? SEEN has been prayed over and developed over the course of several years by a thoughtful, seasoned team of Christian youth leaders, writers, and editors. Many of the contributors serve teens weekly in their local churches and/or are the parents of teens themselves. Every person on the SEEN team has compassion and admiration for the leaders who are reaching out to and teaching and comforting young people on a daily basis, and we see youth leaders, pastors, and volunteers as some of the most significant difference makers in the salvation and transformation of the next generation.
Who was SEEN created for? SEEN was created for every student in your ministry. It was created to cultivate the kind of adult-teen relationships and biblical application that are crucial for the spiritual and personal development of any adolescent. Because SEEN has been created and adapted from resources originally designed to speak to young people enduring hard circumstances, sessions have practical tips and training to help leaders (from new volunteers to seasoned veterans) be sensitive to the particular needs of teens who are experiencing the effects of stress, trauma, and conflict in their lives.
Unit 1 SPIRITUAL GROWTH . Teens learn about who God is to them
Unit 2 CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT . Teens learn who they are in the world and in Christ
Unit 3 LIFE SKILLS . Teens learn how to live like they know who God is and who they are in Christ
