Gen Z/A deeply cares about relationships but lacks the relational skills to create the depth they desire. The evidence of this is the loneliness young people are experiencing.  This is why our curriculum emphasizes the importance of healthy relationships and teaches students how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build strong friendships.

We also address the negative impact of social media on relationships and mental health, while encouraging students to use technology in a responsible and balanced manner.

By addressing these issues, we hope to equip students with the skills they need to form meaningful connections and nurture healthy relationships in their lives.

At its core, Reframe is about intentionally shaping the framework through which Gen Z/A youth view themselves and the world around them.

Students are known for making decisions for their lives based on how they feel. Emotions are a beautiful important part of the human experience, but they make a terrible master.  We’ve all heard the phrase “follow your heart,” but in reality, our hearts can lead us astray. That’s why our curriculum focuses on helping students understand and manage their emotions in a healthy way.

We teach them that while it's okay to feel emotions, it's essential to align them with biblical truths and rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. This not only helps students make wiser choices but also leads to emotional maturity and resilience.

Mental Health has been an epidemic amongst young people that took a turn for the worse during the pandemic. As youth workers, it is crucial to address these issues and provide support for students struggling with their mental health.

Through Reframe, we prioritize mental health check-ins and offer resources for students to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. We also educate them on the importance of seeking help when needed and equip them with tools to process difficult emotions in a healthy way.

By addressing the emotional well-being of Gen Z/A youth, we hope to not only improve their mental health but also foster a deeper understanding of God's love and grace in their lives.

We've been sold in praxis the idea that what we do in the body doesn't matter. This couldn't be further from the truth. God deeply cares about the body.  Part of our curriculum is intentionally asking students to think through how they should engage with their bodies in healthy ways that honor Jesus.

Traditionally, when we think about the body, we only suggest things students shouldn't do, like premarital sex, drugs, etc. (which, by the way, is a good thing to tell them). And we think it's time we encourage students in things they should do with their bodies..

We want students to be deeply formed spiritually by a relationship with Jesus Christ, guided by Scripture in relationship with the local church.  We ensure that students have access to resources that foster spiritual disciplines, including prayer, scripture reading, and listening to the Holy Spirit. Additionally, we underscore the paramount importance of community and discipleship within the church.

In an anxious and driven world, students a growing up faster and faster.  We must fight for their youth by incorporating play into our ministries and encouraging them to find rhythms of rest in their routines outside of our influence.  We believe that rest and play are essential for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By modeling a balanced lifestyle and promoting leisure activities, we hope to help students find joy in the present moment and trust God with their future.
