Curriculum Distinctives

  • It’s All About God

    We believe that the Bible has been given to us first and foremost to teach us about God.  God is the main character of every story and the focal point of all instruction.  “What does this teach us about God?” is the question by which God’s Word must be studied.  All other characters of the stories of Scripture are secondary to God.  Our curriculum is neither man-centered nor moralistic in its approach.

  • It Covers All of God’s Word

    ALL Scripture is inspired by God and ALL Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteous (2 Timothy 3:16).  Based on that truth, we believe our children should be taught the entirety of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.  Where other curricula teach the same 30-40 “major” stories of Scripture, our curriculum covers all of God’s Word over a period of seven years.  We believe that the same gospel truths repeat over and over again in the Bible, which frees us to investigate almost all of God’s Word rather than simply repeating the same stories each year.

  • It Connects Everything Chronologically

    When other curricula teach the Bible as a series of disconnected stories, we teach God’s Word as history.  Therefore, our curriculum presents God’s Word chronologically, demonstrating how all the stories and teaching of Scripture connect to one another historically.  Each year, the children typically study two quarters in the Old Testament and two quarters in the New Testament, moving in parallel from Genesis to Revelation (See scope and sequence).  Our curriculum, then, is not grouped by themes or subject matter like other materials, desiring to see children study through the Bible book by book.

  • It’s Centered on Christ

    We believe that all Scripture, in both the Old and New Testaments, has Christ as the central focal point.  With that in mind, we teach all the stories of Scripture to children with clear reference to Christ.  Each lesson should direct our minds to what we learn about who Christ is, why we need Christ, and what it means to be Christ’s disciple.  In other words, the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is taught as the children study from Genesis to Revelation. 

  • Conversational Method

    The methodology of our curriculum is the verbal transmission of God’s Word.  Teachers converse in a highly interactive way with their students about God’s Word.  Scripture is read, questions are asked, discussion is engaged, and application is made.  Within this process, students learn to investigate God’s Word—observing, comprehending, interpreting and applying it.  It is our desire to see children learn God’s Word AND learn how to study it for themselves.

  • Easy to Teach

    Our curriculum is a clear and organized scripted lesson plan, making it easy to prepare and present.  The main preparation is of the heart!  Teachers are not given multiple options or extra activities to put together.  This allows the focus to truly be on God’s Word, as it has the power to change the hearts of our children.  Our teachers testify to learning along with the children as they investigate God’s Word together!

Lesson Components

PART ONE

Opening

The Opening gets the lesson moving with either introductory thought questions, or a reading from the Psalms or Proverbs. This section serves as a “Call to Study.”

PArt Two

Drill Time

The Drill Time section is an opportunity for you to quiz your children to assess their Bible knowledge. Sometimes the questions will be a review of the previous lesson. Other times the questions will cover essential Bible knowledge that all of our children should learn. Still other times the questions will be from another portion of Scripture which connects to the lesson to be studied.

Part Three

W.O.W. Word

The Word of the Week (W.O.W!) is designed to build the Christian vocabularies of your children. Each lesson includes a W.O.W! that is either a word found in the Bible text or a theological word that is dealt with in the passage. Often times, the W.O.W! is found repeatedly in the chosen text, serving as a theme for the lesson. The Word of the Week is defined and explained in this section in order for your children to gain understanding. They will be asked to listen for it in the Bible Investigation time.

Part Four

Bible Investigation

The Bible Investigation time is the heart and soul of the lesson. Each passage of Scripture is read to your children a portion at a time, breaking it down for interactive discussion. The discussion sections include questions for your children to answer as well as other commentary on what has just been read. Application sections also appear throughout the Bible Investigation in order to put to work what is being studied. The Bible Investigation time is also intended to teach your children how to do methodical Bible study. You will be helping them to observe, interpret, think through, and apply the Scripture.

Part Five

Scripture Memory

At the end of each lesson, a Scripture Memory text is given that either comes from the lesson or connects to it in some way. Encourage your children to memorize Scripture each week to commit God’s Word to their hearts.
