Toddlers: play-N-worship
They’ll toss bouncy balls in the air for Noah’s Ark. They’ll clang building blocks together to make thunder--and learn how God calms a storm. They’ll hug and hold baby dolls--and hear about God’s great care for them! This curriculum offers appropriate lessons to our little ones that get them worshiping God and knowing Jesus through movement and fun. Our toddlers will learn songs that make them want to sing out, and they’ll discover Bible truths through intentional play using basic toys.

Kindergarten: Jesus, What a Savior!
A Study for Children on Redemption
We were created to enjoy the glory of God. But as sinners we fail to treasure Him as we should. Our hearts are full of sin and we stand in need of a Savior. This chronological study on redemption explores the incomparable greatness and worth of God, the desperate condition of helpless sinners, and the all-sufficient work of Jesus Christ to redeem sinful people. |

Using the alphabet as a framework for teaching the attributes of God, this study explores the delight that God has in Himself as the source, means, and purpose of all things.

2nd Graders will be doing 20 lessons in each of the following curriculums:
2nd Grade: Faithful to All His Promises
A Study for Children on the Promises of God
God's promises are gifts to the believer. The challenge of the Christian life is not to simply know the promises of God, but to place unshakable confidence in them. This study teaches children that God's character is trustworthy; therefore, His promises are true and reliable.
2nd Grade: How Majestic Is Your Name
A Study for Children on the Names and Character of God
The names of God are wonderful revelations of His majestic character. This study represents the Hebrew names of God in the Old Testament and the names of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Each lesson encourages children to see and rejoice in the goodness and greatness of God as they explore the meaning of His glorious names.

3rd Grade: In the Beginning...Jesus
A Chronological Study for Children of Redemptive History
The Bible is one complete true story that progressively reveals God's redemptive plan, which comes to complete fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. In the Beginning...Jesus begins with a historical mystery—Jesus' death on the cross—and asks the questions: "What really happened here?" "Why did Jesus die?" and "Who did it?" To find the answers to these questions, the study goes to the beginning of the Bible narrative in Genesis and then moves chronologically through the Old Testament text as students search for clues that foreshadow the coming of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross. Special emphasis is given to showing that the Bible is God's story from beginning to end and that Jesus is the key to understanding the story. |

4th Grade: To Be Like Jesus
A Study for Children on Following Jesus
What is salvation? How does someone become a Christian? What does it mean to become like Jesus? This curriculum helps answer these important questions by explaining elements of the Gospel message, its purpose, and promise. A major portion of this study focuses on the doctrine of sanctification - the process by which a Christian becomes more and more conformed to the likeness of Jesus. |

Each lesson reveals that God is the sovereign ruler of the universe whose eye is watching over all things, and whose hand is working in all things.
