| | | Reformed Sunday School Curriculum???
Does anyone know of any? I am trying to teach about 10 youth, the principles of reformed theology. I was wondering if anyone knew of any resources: Sunday school guides, videos, etc. I am Baptist, so this makes the matter more difficult.
Seems this has been totally neglected by the reformed community.

One of our Sunday School classes just finished Bitesize Theology by Peter Jeffrey. Contents/chapters include God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, sin, atonement, grace, regeneration, repentance-and-faith, reconciliation, redemption, justification, adoption, union with Christ, sanctification, election, eternal security, and the Second Coming.
The class ranged from high school to 32 years, by the way, some of whom are newer to Reformed thinking.

I think you can get Bitesize Theology dirty cheap (i.e., $5 a book or less) at Cumberland Valley.

GCP puts out curricula for all ages. There is also a lot of material that Lignonier ministries puts out. Redeemer PCA has a huge collection of materials. From a Baptist perspective, MacArthur has some materials as does John Piper's Church.

| |  The "problem" with GCP is that it is written from a Presbyterian perspective, and I believe the same is true for Bitesize Theology. The OP asks for something Baptistic. I sorta forgot about that.

| | | Bitesize doesn't deal with baptism or church government, as far as I can remember and a quick scan of the chapter titles, which is why I listed them above. GCP will definitely touch on baptism, though.
Bitesize quotes Spurgeon, Tozer, C.S. Lewis, Lloyd-Jones, John Murray, Banner of Truth, Packer, Boice, Ryle, D.A. Carson, etc., just to give someone a feel of the veiwpoint.

I am sort of old-school here but what's wrong with the catechisms? Spurgeon adopted the Westminster catechism to a baptist flavor and I would strongly encourage you to take all youth through it. Spurgeon's Catechism, 1855

Thanks, Sweetie. I was confusing Bitesize with that book by Morton Smith your class used, which is definitely Presbyterian.

Piper's material is actually pretty decent, so I would especially in a baptist context try them out.
You also could (for a short term class) try Washer's One True God, which has excellent reviews.

A good basic, yet deep study for one course is Confessing Christ by Calvin Knox Cummings. The booklet study is very inexpensive. Young people can handle this. http://www.cepbookstore.com/p-117-co...-7-chapte.aspx

Spurgeon's Catechism, 1855 |  I've found that the best thing to do with youth, as well as with the newly reformed, is to hand out copies of the LBCF 1689 and work through it, the catechism, and the provided texts. Personally, I use the Creeds, too, but I know that a lot of teachers don't like using them in a Sunday School setting.
But, this is good for an intro to the Doctrines of Grace, or so I've been told by people I trust. Never did it myself.

Damon have you tried Founders Ministries which is the Reformed side of the Southern Baptist. I have not checked lately but they used to carry good Sunday School material.
