UNBROKEN: Trauma Informed Children’s Ministry Bible Series
UNBROKEN is a five-lesson, trauma-informed Bible curriculum designed to help children who have experienced hardship, loss, instability, or adversity discover a life-giving truth:
Even when life feels broken, God is not absent.
Created for churches, camps, and ministries serving children ages 8–12, this curriculum guides kids to see God as safe, present, and trustworthy—not through pressure or performance, but through relationship, story, and belonging.
Why UNBROKEN?
Many children come to church carrying invisible stories—disrupted families, grief, fear, displacement, neglect, or trauma they don’t yet have words for. Traditional teaching methods can unintentionally overwhelm or shut them down.
UNBROKEN meets children where they are.
Each lesson is intentionally crafted with trauma-informed approaches that:
- Emphasize safety, predictability, and choice
- Avoid shaming language or forced vulnerability
- Honor emotions without trying to “fix” them
- Anchor hope in who God is—not in circumstances
This is discipleship that heals while it teaches.
Five Core Truths Children Learn
Lesson 1 — God Sees Me
Children discover that they are never invisible to God—even when they feel overlooked, forgotten, or alone.
“You are noticed. You matter. God sees you.”
Lesson 2 — God Is With Me
Kids learn that God does not watch from far away—He stays close in hard places, scary moments, and uncertain seasons.
“I’m not alone. God is with me.”
Lesson 3 — God Is My Refuge
This lesson introduces God as a place of safety, strength, and rest—especially when life feels loud, chaotic, or unsafe.
“When I’m afraid, I can run to God.”
Lesson 4 — God Gives Me Belonging
Children are reminded that they are welcomed, wanted, and part of God’s family—no matter their background or story.
“I belong. I am not on my own.”
Lesson 5 — God Is Working Behind the Scenes
Kids learn that even when they can’t see it, God is active—bringing good, shaping hope, and writing a bigger story than the pain they’ve known.
“God is still working in my life.”

UNBROKEN: Because Brokenness Is Not the End of the Story
Children may come carrying heavy things—but they don’t have to carry them alone.
UNBROKEN helps kids discover a God who sees them, stays with them, protects them, welcomes them, and is quietly working for their good—even now.We were broken.
But in God’s hands, the story isn’t over.
Youth workers and children’s ministry leaders trust Breakaway resources because they are built on both a firm biblical foundation and real-world ministry experience. Every curriculum, ministry resource, and outreach tool is rooted in Scripture—handled with theological care, missional awareness, and a clear gospel focus. We are committed to sound doctrine, faithful interpretation, and Christ-centered teaching that aligns with biblical Christianity.
Our resources are forged in the field—tested in a myriad of ministry contexts across the U.S. and around the world.
