Preteen Church Worship | Preteen Ministry Bible Lessons

One of the most common questions I often get asked is…

How do you create an engaging worship experience for preteens?

Here are some of the issues that come up with preteen ministry worship:

“The 5th/6th grade boys are in the back of the room, totally not participating. In fact, they’re a big distraction!”
“We’re a small group and a band or DVD worship just isn’t an option.”
“I can’t find any worship music that our preteens like.”
“We have limited space in our preteen room, which makes doing worship difficult.”
“We combine all elementary aged kids together, and the older kids don’t participate at all. They just roll their eyes and give us weird looks.”

In episode 2 of the “Ask Nick” podcast, we give you some proven ways to engage preteens in the worship experience.

In this episode Rob Quinn joins me (Nick). Rob’s had a lot of success with something called “Worship Stations” in his preteen ministry.

He shares the philosophy behind worship stations, why they’re effective with preteens, and gives a specific example of a worship station that you can implement in your own ministry.

In this episode we mentioned a blog post Rob wrote on our website that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to create these 4 worship stations: God’s Facebook, Give It All to Him, God’a Family Tree and Fill In the Gaps.

Here’s the link to that blog post…
