Bible Story Based Children's Ministry Curriculum

Story-based Bible Lessons

We believe that children in preschool and grade-school learn best by stories. By the time children go to middle school, they should have a solid foundation of Bible understanding.

• Roughly 2 years of chronological Bible story lessons
• 1 year through the Old Testament and 1 year through the New Testament
• Lessons focus on stories kids will remember, not topics
• Children will get each lesson 3 times by the end of 5th grade
• Your teachers might learn something too!
• Students learn a new Bible memory verse every 4 weeks
• Each lesson includes supplies, preparation steps, and coloring sheets
• Teachers use Children's Storybook Bibles to ensure comprehension

Grounded in Childhood Development

Topical lessons that require children to apply a concept to their lives do not work as well as lessons that teach a concrete story that will stick with them for years to come.

• Psychologists know that children do not begin to develop the ability to think abstractly until adolescence
• Instead of a 4-week series on "Love," children learn about love through Bible stories of love
• Children will remember the stories long after they remember a topic
• Reinforcement activities are much more meaningful when tied to a story than a topic

Awesome Coloring Sheets

Our artist creates fresh take-home coloring sheets for each lesson.

• Each coloring sheet includes the lesson title and Bible reference so parents know what they learned
• No chubby cherubs and flowing-hair Jesus here
• Specially designed to highlight an aspect of the story — a teaching tool for the classroom and at home
