Our
curriculum for JAM (1st through 5th graders) is 252 Basics.
252 Basics is a new unique approach to curriculum
for churches. It is built around three Basic Truths every child
should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.
-
I need to make the wise choice
- I can trust God no matter what
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated
Each Basic Truth is amplified by a weekly key concept
and systematically taught over a three-year track. The curriculum
includes 150 Bible stories and is based on a core virtue and memory
verse as the framework for each month. Check out samples on the
web at 252 Basics.

activity which will introduce them to the Bible story that will
be taught that day.
Power Up - Power up is designed to engage kids
in worship within a large group setting. Music, and an innovative
approach to a Bible story is always part of this interactive time.
Catch On - This small group time helps kids understand
how the day's topic applies to their daily lives. They will discuss
real life experiences, interact with a close knit group of peers
and participate in a variety of activities. |
