Southwest Church - Children's Ministry...
Jam
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.
