In this session students will explore what it meant to be followers in
the early church. Using both scripture and historical knowledge of how
churches would have functioned they will discover similarities and
differences between the early church and churches today. (Acts 1-8)
The Fathom Digital Bundle contains one reproducible Leader Guide and one reproducible Student Journal.
A Deep Dive into the Story of God
Fathom is a Bible study for teens that covers the Old and New Testaments
in 18 4-session studies. The lessons are a blend of narrative and
traditional theological approaches to understanding the Bible story.
Each lesson will focus on one passage that will launch into the larger
context of God's story being studied,and how that story is meant to be
theirs. Fathom is suitable for groups with middle schoolers, high
schoolers, and any combination of the two. But unlike many other
resources, it acknowledges the differences between older and younger
youth and the way they learn. It provides activities specific to each
age group, as well as activities for mixed groups in which older youth
have leadership opportunities. Fathom gives leaders the option to let
youth take ownership of their learning through teaching and leading
alongside adults. Fathom creates space and tension for teens to wrestle
with how to interpret and experience the Bible.
Through youthministrypartners.com, leaders will have access to planning
and teaching tools, customizable content, and other supplemental content
to support their use of Fathom as well as their youth ministries in
general.
