I had a preteen event a few weeks ago called Nerf Wars. We had an outside company come it to do it, but it can easily be duplicated. And you could easily do this with up to 100 preteens. Here’s the skinny: Big room. Everyone has a nerf gun with darts. Two teams who line [...]
SuperStart! Live [Way Down Yonder 004]
Before we get too far with this one, let’s put our bias up front. FourFiveSix got its kickstart with Patrick Snow. SuperStart! Live is the brainchild of Patrick Snow. And so obviously, all of us at FourFiveSix (especially Patrick) think SuperStart! Live is one of the greatest preteen events in the world. But biased or [...]
Keeping Kids Warm
On October 7th, 2011, 5 preteens, one teen helper and two fearless leaders gathered to embark on their first service project of the fourfivesix LIT Ministry. This was a project that was formulated in the minds and hearts of the Sunday morning LIT Ministry preteens. They heard about the Great Coats, Hats, and Gloves give [...]
9.5 Theses of Preteen Ministry

On this site you will find weekly blog posts, curriculum for your preteen ministry and a coaching series [...]
What’s Your Marinade?
“Last night,” I said to the preteens sitting in front of me, “I went to the grocery store and bought ONE breast of chicken. I had to go to the meat counter to buy just one, because otherwise you have to buy a package of three. Then, I took that ONE breast of chicken home [...]
Top Five with Rob and Jodi Quinn
It seems like every time I talk with people who either have a preteen ministry or trying are to launch one, a few common questions arise. What ages are considered preteen? What does a preteen service look like? What curriculum is out there for preteens? What kind of events work with preteens? And finally, what [...]
