Explore the Updated 2026–2027 Youth Lectionary Curriculum!
Connecting Faith and Justice: Youth Lectionary Curriculum is back for another year with new lessons now available for download.
Connecting Faith and Justice: Youth Lectionary Curriculum is a resource designed to help young people explore the intersection of faith and justice. The curriculum is rooted in scripture, connecting biblical teachings to the world around us and to the United Methodist Social Principles. It offers engaging lessons that encourage students to actively reflect on how their faith calls them to take action in the world.
Created by a diverse team of pastors, educators, emerging leaders, and laypersons from across the connection, each lesson invites youth to dig deeper into their spiritual journey and discover their role in advocating for justice. Designed for Junior High and Senior High students, the lessons are flexible and adaptable to meet the unique needs of every ministry setting.
Each one-hour lesson includes a centering moment, scripture study, group activity, and closing reflection, encouraging students to look inward, deepen their relationship with God, and engage thoughtfully with their community and the world around them. All lessons stand alone and can be used independently, making it easy for leaders to tailor the experience for their groups.
This year-long curriculum follows the Lectionary Calendar for Year B, beginning on November 29, 2026, and ending on November 28, 2027.
Released quarterly, this curriculum is available for free as a resource for your ministry.
