Leading a Bible study for teens can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tools, attitude, and a heart for growth, you can create a space where teens thrive spiritually and relationally.
Start with Prayer and Purpose
Begin by praying for guidance and clarity about what your group needs. Is your focus on spiritual basics, character building, or specific books of the Bible?
Keep It Simple
Choose a manageable format. A short Scripture passage, 2–3 open-ended discussion questions, and time for prayer and sharing is often all you need.
Make It Relatable
Use examples from real teen life—school stress, friendships, identity—to help them connect God's Word to their own journey. Let them lead parts of the conversation, too!
Consistency Over Perfection
It’s okay if it doesn’t go perfectly. What matters most is showing up, loving well, and pointing students toward Jesus with authenticity.
