Curriculum - Year 1 (52 lessons)

A comprehensive Sunday school curriculum for a whole year

We are thrilled to introduce our comprehensive Sunday school and children's ministry curriculum, consisting of 52 engaging and interactive lessons! The first year of our curriculum focuses on the life of Abraham, Joseph, Advent and Christmas, the life of Jesus, Easter until Ascension, Pentecost and the early church in Acts, the Psalms, Parables of Jesus, and Encounters with Jesus.

Each of our lessons is designed to provide a well-rounded learning experience, featuring an icebreaker, children's moments for during the church service, storytelling tips, a short YouTube video with reflection, a science experiment, several object lessons, several games, several crafts, and one or more creative prayer ideas.

All of our lessons are available for download in PDF format, giving you the flexibility to pick and choose the activities that best fit the needs and interests of your group, as well as the amount of time you have to work with them. Our goal is to provide you with high-quality resources that will engage and inspire your young learners, while also empowering you as a teacher to effectively deliver each lesson.
