I am working on a layout right now and I may well go that direction.

I'm just looking to see if there is anything out there that is well done, relevant to an 18-24 year old's actual life with an emphasis on spiritual growth and just good ole 'one foot in front of the other' practical application of Christian principles to daily life.

It very well may be the case that I design my own.

I've developed several 12-week series (45 min lessons) with teachers manual and student worksheets on:

Developing Christian Character
Principles of Christian Living
Spiritual World: Angels & Demons
From a Victim to a Conqueror (in progress)

If you end up writing your own curriculum, I'd be interested in trading resources.... if you're up to it....

That would be great...

I will let you know as things develop. You have given me extra incentive to look into pulling this together myself.

I don't know about curriculum, but would suggest teaching on finances: budgeting, staying out of debt, etc.

We start classes on September 2nd.

I have decided to go with writing my own curriculum for the class. I have spoken with the pastor and he feels good about it.

I will be starting out with a series that cover how the Bible and Christianity in general affects the most basic parts of our lives.

This will include...

• The way we interact with, treat, respond to & speak to others.
• Our faithfulness and consistency with those around us at work, school, home, in the family.
• What our reasonings & thought processes are when we choose the ways we present ourselves. Even down to what we drive and the way we drive.
  etc, etc, etc

No lists... no rules... but Christianity in a "rubber meets the road" fashion that engages the young people in a real world discussion about how Christianity affects the way they live their daily lives with open discussion to help them first realize the parts of their lives that we should think about these things and then gain some good insight into how to search out what the right answers should be to these questions.

I plan on writing the curriculum a week or 2 ahead and compiling it as I go to put to use for some wider scale plans I have outside this class.

Things are moving along well and I am very excited.
