Daily Bible Reading Plan

Our Daily Bible Reading Plan leads students to read through each quarter’s book of the Bible one day at a time, following the same timeline as Explore the Bible for Adults.

Parent Ministry Video Script

The busyness of life and mounting to-dos keep many families from engaging meaningfully with their local church’s student ministry. However, just like with student ministry, building and nurturing relationships with parents is crucial. We want to assist you in creating better connections, even with those hard-to-reach parents. Our easy-to-customize parent ministry script can help you record a brief video to connect with parents at the beginning of each new quarter of Explore the Bible for Students. Download the Summer 2025 script here!
