This year long curriculum is packed with fun, faith-building series that help kids discover who God is and how they can follow Jesus every day. We want kids to grow a faith that’s so strong that it survives lost shoes, cafeteria mystery meat, and sibling drama. 

Throughout the year, kids will learn important truths about God's love, making wise choices (yes, even when cookies are involved), growing in faith, and knowing they belong in God's big story.

Our hope and prayer is that through every game, story, and hands-on activity, kids will grow closer to Jesus and build a faith that sticks with them for life—like glitter in carpet or like peanut butter in the roof of your mouth.

Volume 2 is currently in development. See below for release dates. New series will automatically appear in your download area. 

We recommend you use the following series as detailed below. However, they're totally flexible to use whenever you want.

SAMPLE LESSON - THE LOST SHEEP

Download a free sample lesson here. 

This is a sample lesson from our Weird Science series on the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Matthew 18:10-14. In this lesson, we see an invisible ink experiment with an incredible chemical reaction! Then, there's an interactive magnetism experiment for the younger elementary group and an awesome water tension experiment for the preteen group — each to teach us that we are never too lost for Jesus to save.

Low Prep & Simple: Say goodbye to late-night lesson panics and piles of sticky notes! Our curriculum is made for busy children's ministry heroes who want awesome lessons without the hours of prep. It’s so simple, you might actually have time to grab a coffee (or sneak in a donut) before Sunday starts.

Promotes Relationships: We want kids to build friendships that stick better than glue (but way less messy) and connect with leaders. The goal is to create a place where they discover and nurture relationships with others who love Jesus. 

Bible Based and Life-Applicable: A great mix of Biblical content and life-application. 

Puts Your Leaders in the Driver's Seat: We intentionally do not provide a teaching video because it is important that kids learn from humans in real life.  

Adaptable: Change it up and make it your own, or use it as-is. Totally adaptable to your church's unique setting. 

Small Groups for Younger Kids and Preteens: A completely separate small group guide for younger elementary and preteen. Preteen small groups are a priority for us. Our writing team brings over 20 years preteen ministry experience to the table. You'll find great activities and thought provoking discussions that preteens will love, and will help them to own their faith in Jesus. The younger elementary small groups are also pretty amazing. We recognize the unique developmental needs of this age group, and include specific activities and questions to accommodate those needs.

Built-In Parent Resources: Each series includes customizable parent email scripts and ready-to-post social media slides for every lesson. These tools help parents know what their kids are learning and encourage meaningful conversations at home throughout the week.
