For many years One Accord Resources has been a trusted developer of quality curriculum for children, youth, and adults. All of our Bible-based products highlight spiritual formation and life application while emphasizing Pentecostal and Charismatic distinctives and traditions.
One Accord products are divided into three core curriculum lines designed for different age groups: HeartShaper (Toddlers – Preteen) Encounter (Young Teen and High School), and Adult (Classic Adult, Faith Café, and GAP).
Each curriculum follows a scope and sequence designed to ensure that students receive a comprehensive overview of the gospel. One Accord curricula are flexible enough to meet the small group needs of any church and can be easily adapted for use in Sunday school, midweek church, or weekly small group meetings.

OVERVIEW
Many changes take place during the teenage years. One Accord’s Encounter curriculum is designed to help the church encourage, inspire, and equip teenagers to live for Christ during this often confusing and defining time in their lives.
Encounter balances in-depth Bible study with practical life application. Using powerful truths, relevant methods, and engaging activities, each lesson is designed to encourage group participation and active learning. Cutting-edge multimedia resources—including audio skits, classic television and movie clips, cartoons, interviews, games, and concept videos—are also incorporated into each weekly lesson.
Encounter materials are designed with both the teacher and the student in mind. Each lesson provides a variety of activity choices that introduce the lesson using different teaching and learning styles, allowing teachers to select the activities that best suit their classes. Take-home resources are provided to encourage students to reflect on the truth of each lesson during the week. Various online lesson resources and teacher helps are available to simplify lesson planning.
Encounter is divided into two age groups: Young Teen (grades 7-8) and High School (grades 9-12). This resource is ideal for Sunday school, midweek church, or weekly small group meetings.

SCOPE AND SEQUENCE
The phrase “Scope and Sequence” refers to the content of the curriculum and the order in which that content is taught. Maintaining an intentional scope and sequence is important because it gives teachers and students the assurance that there is a design behind their learning and that they will be guided through the Bible in an appropriate, relevant, and gospel-focused manner. This is certainly the case with Encounter curriculum.
During the young teen and high school years, students that participate in Encounter curriculum will take an age-appropriate journey through the Bible in a way that challenges them to learn more about God's truth and understand how to apply it to their daily lives. Encounter offers a weekly, four-step lesson plan that makes it easy for you to engage your youth in God's Word with practical teaching, hands-on activities, and intellectually stimulating questions, discussion-starters, and research. We understand that you have limited time to talk to the young people in your group about their relationship with God. You can trust that Encounter has been designed thoughtfully and strategically to make the most of that time.
