The Faith: Teen Zine vol. 1 (Spanish)
The Faith: Teen Zine vol. 1 invites teens to explore the idea of faith by walking them through the Apostles’ Creed. Teens will dive into the essential questions asked by ancient Christians in the early church and discover the basics of the faith that all creedal Christians still believe today.
The Faith Issue includes over 300 pages with 10 chapters of art, scripture, grounding theological truth, and processing space for teens to reflect on the following themes from the Apostles’ Creed:
- Who is God?
- Who is God the Father?
- Who is Jesus?
- What did Jesus do?
- Where is Jesus now?
- Who is the Holy Spirit?
- What is a Christian community?
- What is forgiveness?
- What is eternal life?
- What do I believe now?
A Quick Start Guide for grown-ups accompanies each Teen Zine to support parents, teachers, and youth ministry leaders as they join their teens on this faith adventure.
*Each teen will need their own zine. StoryMakers Teen Zines have space for reflection, note-taking, and doodling. Zines are a place for a teen to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore the Bible and their faith in God.
Does each teen really need their own zine? Yes! Zines have space for reflection, note-taking, and doodling, so each teen will want their own. We designed Teen Zines to be a place for individuals to express their questions, discoveries, and creativity as they explore who God is and what it means to be a person of faith.
What else do I need along with the zine? Zines are designed to be stand-alone products, and you can dive in as soon as you take it out of the box with whatever art supplies you have on hand. If you want an even richer experience, we recommend grabbing the Teen Discovery Kit to help spark connection. Grown-ups leading teens will appreciate having a Teacher’s Guide to help them along the way.
How long will it take to go through a zine? We recommend taking two weeks to work through each chapter—don’t rush! Teen Zines are packed full of thoughtful content, engaging art, questions, and quotes to spark connection and reflection. With that said, go at the pace that feels right to you and your teens once you dive in to your zine.

What age range are your zines recommended for? Adventure Zines are designed to be accessible to children from ages 6-12, making it possible for families or small churches to use them in groups with varying ages. Teen Zines are designed for middle school and high school students, ages 13-18. For help deciding which zine is right for your StoryMakers, use the “Shop by Age” dropdown menu or request a digital sample to take a peek inside.
Are these products for church or home? Both! StoryMakers resources are all designed with the child and teen in mind and can be used wherever they are! Our products are easy to use without a lot of prep and can easily be used in big Sunday school classrooms, small homeschool co-ops, one-on-one with a friend, parent, or grandparent.
Why do you refer to children as “StoryMakers”? We believe all humans are “story makers” because we are created in the image of God, the Ultimate Story Maker! We know kids and teens are creative, thoughtful, and imaginative beings with the ability to connect to their faith through the stories of the Bible.
How do Teen Zines “spark the imagination”? We believe imagination is one of every child or teen’s most valuable resources, and it is an ideal access point for the story of God’s great love. The stories of the Bible are peppered with action, drama, rebellion, and redemption. Through creative engagement, teens can experience these stories with curiosity, questions, empathy, and surprising insight as they recognize themselves in the stories and see their own need for God.
