What are the “Core” Teachings for Tweens?

So in my first year of Switch, I sort of had an idea on what we needed to concentrate on teaching this age group. All scripture is breathed by God. However, not all scripture is as practical as every other piece of scripture. So in your ministry context, you have to pick out the “Big Ideas”.

For us it comes down to 3 things:

  • Identity
  • Choices
  • Relationships

These are the three that we concentrate our teaching and strategy in Switch. Our tweens need to know their identity lies in Christ and because of that, they should make wise choices and develop healthy, positive relationships.

But I wanted to ask you all, what do you see as the cores for a tween or preteen??? What should you be focusing on in your tween ministry?
