Single-Digit Youth Groups
by Marcey Balcomb

Marcey Balcomb has created a cooperative youth group for a half-dozen churches in Oregon. She is an expert in linking rural youth groups together and building community among them. This book has 42 programs for smaller groups and reproducible handouts.


Combos for Youth Groups (1-4)

Various Authors

These books take care of everything a youth pastor needs in programming for a six-month period. They're put together so the leader can construct a program that fits his or her group. All of the books have CDs that have so much extra stuff that just about any kind of youth group can have some great and meaningful time together.


Marking Milestones and Making Memories for Youth
by Jason Schultz

This book has a wealth of ideas for any size group--town or country. The ideas are pretty much all adaptable.


Bible Lessons for Youth
Various Writers

This curriculum is in cooperation with the international lessons series that takes a class through the entire Bible over six years. So if a 7th-grader starts out and ends in the 12th grade, he or she will have studied pretty much the whole Bible.


3V Bible Studies
Various Writers

These are in-depth studies that let the users choose just how deep they want to go. The learning model is "text, content, what's next" with three options of "in-depthness" for the group to choose from. They are really engaging and fit just about any group that does Bible study.


Synago
Various Writers

This is our student-led, cell-group/small group curriculum that had great success in several different settings, including rural groups. A real-life example is a church in rural Tennessee. The pastor called us to get some help for what to do with their group of two youth. We told him about Synago, and those two youth took the challenge of leading a small group. In about six months, the group had 10 youth.
