How do YOU teach theology in your ministry?
How do you teach theology in your ministry? Do you do lessons on systematic topics? Do you teach it as you go along? (like when it comes up in a specific verse or series) Do you have "advanced" sessions or lessons for a group of eager kids? I'm curious about how other people do it.

I teach it as it comes up during the mid-week gathering. We have just started an offering on Sunday mornings using Group magazine's Core Truths curriculum. |

I think the first thing you have to do is define "theology" to your students. When they hear that word "theology", their "listeners" turn off b/c they think it's not for them. Theology, in short, is man's view of who God Is. We want our students to see God for who He is in His light. We don't want them to view God through our eyes. |

Discuss them on youth night as the Spirit leads you and teach it - us lots of illustrations and make the parables even urban if you have to. Don't shortchange them - they deserve to learn and know. "Theology" is not just for leders and deacons. Knowledge of god has been kept form young people for a long time. They deserve it. A more advanced discipleship course with foundational doctrines taught is appropriate. I use it and it helps grow my leaders... |

Every middle schooler goes through a series with me called Fundamentals of the Faith, based on this workbook: http://www.gbibooks.com/Details.aspx?ID=1883973015 |

Once a month, we do "University University" an 1 1/2 hour college theology class. Right now, it is primarily attended by our 8th and 9th graders. It rotates through 24 topics or so, but as this is our first rotation, students are currently choosing the next month's topic. We are currently doing 2 months of Eschatology. |
