Kids Ministry Curriculum

Each Kids Ministry Curriculum is filled with captivating know-hows that kids remember for a lifetime as their friendships with God continue to grow. Spiritual revelation happens when children come to know Jesus, rather than just know about Jesus. We’re here to partner with you as you generate lifelong disciples of Jesus!

Our work is to get ready the soil of kids’ hearts so seeds of faith can grow, and a real connection with Jesus can happen. When you use our Kids Bible curriculum, you know each connection was meaningfully designed to create a social, emotional, and spiritual environment that prepares hearts and minds for God to work.   Intentionally designed to turn young believers into finding the promises of God on their own, Kids Ministry Curriculum is planned for ages 5th through 12th grades.  

The youth love the social interaction of the gaming atmosphere. And they love the candy they can win each week! Kids Ministry Curriculum is student-driven, designed to teach the young person how to search the scriptures themselves without parental assistance.  Five times a week, student use their Kids Ministry Curriculum Manuals to do a five-minute study of short portions of scripture.  They will use their study Bibles, be directed to maps, concordance references, charts and commentaries teaching them how to study scripture.

After doing their short study at home, they come to church each week prepared for a fun, exciting time of teaching and competition. Kids Ministry Curriculum begins the process of turning your child into a disciple of Christ on their own.

What is the calendar set up for Kids Ministry Curriculum?

Kids Ministry Curriculum can easily be utilized within the school calendar, from September through the end of April. Most of the curriculum books of Kids Ministry Curriculum divide into 4 semesters. It takes two years to complete some books while others are 1 semester long.

Does Kids Ministry Curriculum have extensive memory and questions to learn each week?

NO, NO, NO. Kids Ministry Curriculum is designed for the students at both extremes. It will teach the student that does no weekly Bible study or the student that dives in each day to God’s words. No student will feel behind or excluded because they did not do their devotionals throughout the week. Memory is optional for Children’s church curriculum. There is a set memory verses schedule programmed into the weekly devotionals for those students that want that challenge.

Of course the director can add incentives to reward those that complete their memory. One suggestion is for the group to be offered the chance to take a trip or outing in town per semester for those that completes a minimum of 15 verses per semester. This trip rewards and solidifies the Kids Ministry Curriculum group. There are as many as 60 memory verses per semester that are within this study that are optional.

Does this program exclude those that do not study or memorize?

NO, NO, NO. This answer is repeated to emphasize that Kids Ministry Curriculum  is designed to meet the needs of the church for all young people—those that have discipline and those that are learning to be disciplined. Getting into God’s word is a discipline and Kids Ministry Curriculum begins to take the young person from milk and teaches them how to chew-“beef jerky” if you will.

This course of study does not exclude those that are just beginning to ruminate in God’s word. The student will learn each week whether than belly up to the banquet table each day or not. Through the weekly lessons and videos, the student begins to place line-upon-line and precept-upon-precept. It is exciting to see this happen!!!!

Pages and charts and maps are referred to in this study and any substitute would be confusing for the student. 2. One consumable devotional Kids Ministry Curriculum  Manual per Bizzer a.

What is Quiz time?

Quiz time during Kids Ministry Curriculum is the fun part! It is the “gaming” and social interaction elements that young people love. The director is in front of the group with the questions and answers.

The director may use an electronic quizzing machine where each student has a hand pad to buzz into the director’s answer pad. This pad indicates who buzzed in first giving that person the ability to answer. If your budget does not allow for this, simply dividing up into teams is fun as well. Further directions of just what the rules of the game are can be answered later.

The weekly Kids Ministry Curriculum quiz questions are not given out each week for the students to learn.  There is a specific, definite reason for this.  Kids Ministry Curriculum differs from a typical “Quizzing Program.”  Kids Ministry Curriculum is designed for the student to study and meditate on the portion of scripture contained in that week’s Kids Ministry Curriculum devotionals, NOT TO MEMORIZE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

The student is encouraged to study the devotions and corresponding scriptures and the weekly quiz questions come from that.  If quiz questions are given out to study, the student simply is repeating back answers making their study nothing more than preparation for trivial gaming.
