seal'D curriculum 2026

How Do You Find Identity in Christ?

seal'D curriculum is a series of five lessons developed by Central Bible University staff, faculty, and alumni to help students discover God's authentic purpose for their lives.

What Is seal'D?

The seal'D curriculum is based on Central's belief that we can discover God's authentic purpose for our lives by developing four key pillars: Service, Experiences, Academics, and Leadership. In this year's curriculum, we focus on David in 1 Samuel 16 and 17 as an example of what it looks like to grow in those four areas.

Central is passionate about equipping you to encourage your students to follow God into whatever call He has placed on their lives, and we believe seal'D is a great way to discover what that call is.

This year's curriculum is built around discovering and embracing who God truly made you to be and trusting that His plans are for your greatest good.

For Youth Pastors & Leaders

Everything you need to encourage, promote, and teach these four pillars is included in this free download and is designed to make teaching this content easy, relatable, and meaningful to both you and your students.

Lead your entire youth group through the process of discovering how serving others sets the stage for God to equip them for His grand purpose. They will see how their experiences prepare them for the next level of challenges they will encounter as they walk into God's plan. They will also learn how academics are invaluable when it comes to growing in what God has made them passionate about. Finally, they will discover the importance of accepting the responsibility of leadership when all three of the other pillars properly align.

Why seal'D Is for You

Whether you're a veteran youth pastor or a volunteer sponsor, seal'D includes all the tools you need to challenge and encourage your students to seek the Lord, grow in His Word, and answer the call on each of their lives. The call is not the same for everyone, but everyone most certainly has an authentic purpose in Christ.
