The FourFiveSix Map is for Intentional Preteen Ministries.
An Intentional Preteen Ministry is one that:
A) Focuses intentionally on preteens (typically ages 9–12).
This could include any subset of that range—such as only 9- and 10-year-olds, 10–12s, or the full 9–12 span.
In the U.S., this often corresponds to 4th, 5th, and/or 6th grades.
B) Is structured to meet preteens where they are.
Your ministry might be a distinct preteen group, or it might be special programming within your children’s or youth ministry that intentionally serves preteens.
C) Aims to help preteens take ownership of their faith.
Its goal is to lead preteens toward personally surrendering their lives to Jesus and beginning to follow him as their own decision.
If this describes your ministry, you’re in the right place—please continue!
If not, thank you for your heart for kids and students.
This particular map is focused on churches with preteen-specific ministries that intentionally disciple this unique age group.
