Character: Fruit of the Spirit – Middle School Series

10 completely downloadable and easy-to-use lessons on living with godly character.

These ten lessons will help students understand what God says about how they should live as his followers. The Bible provides a handy list for us—the fruit of the Spirit—that describes the kind of character God wants us to embody. Throughout these lessons, students will be challenged to not just learn about these traits but apply them to their everyday lives through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Character: Fruit of the Spirit is the first set of lessons in our Middle School Series about developing godly character. Use it to give your middle schoolers a strong, biblical foundation for Christ-like character, then follow up with the next set of lessons in this series, Character: Influencers. You can also use Character: Fruit of the Spirit as a standalone series.

What is HERD Middle School?

Middle School students move in herds, and, like you, we want to see them run hard after Jesus. We believe that middle school students deserve better than dumbed-down high school curriculum. That’s why we created HERD, a curriculum that’s written just for middle school. You’ll find that HERD Middle School Curriculum embraces the awkward and celebrates the “extra” of middle school. Every lesson zeroes in on biblical truth. We keep things fun with exploratory activities. And we give you the tools to help your middle schoolers create daily habits that lead to spiritual growth. Our overall goal is to lift and plant your students on a firm foundation of faith. Middle School students are a unique brand of human. HERD Middle School Curriculum is a unique brand of curriculum to match.
