Go Deeper in Your Children's Ministry with Deeper In for Children Curriculum - Make it Your Choice for Fall 2023

 

Teaching children about the Bible so they know who God is and how they are able to know Him is one of the most important things we will ever do, and is why most churches invest in Sunday School curriculum. While there are many excellent curriculum resources on the market, we are watching as more and more children turn away from their faith and even to atheism as they grow older. It does not have to be this way.

As the school year comes to a close, the Sunday School year is also wrapping up as more and more churches do not offer Sunday School during the Summer.

Why Another Curriculum? Why Deeper In for Children? - Make it Your Choice for Fall 2023

Yes, I agree there are a number of excellent curriculum resources currently available for churches to use in their Children's Ministries, so why did I release Deeper In for Children? There are several reasons, but the biggest one is because  Deeper In for Children  does several unique things -

Deeper In for Children includes Anchored - How Do they Make a Difference? - Make it Your Choice for Fall 2023

Sunday school originally began in 1780 because people wanted to teach poor children to read as they typically worked in factories all week. Nearly all children went to Sunday school - even if their parents did not go to church - and along with learning to read, they were taught the Bible - as it was the main book they learned to read. These children also learned to write as they copied verses from the Bible. 

Deeper In for Children AND Anchored will Provide the Tools You Need to Equip Children with a Confident Faith - Make it Your Choice for Fall 2023

Those who serve in Children's Ministry do so because they want to help children learn what the Bible says and how they are able to know and walk with Jesus. Most churches tend to do an acceptable job of teaching children the Bible accounts, but do not always do a strong job of teaching children what difference it makes in their lives to know what the Bible says.  It is essential for children to learn what the Bible says AND learn what the difference is it makes in their lives to know these things. We must teach both.

Why Deeper In for Children has a Unified Scope and Sequence - Make it Your Choice for Fall 2023

 

I recently shared the scope and sequence for the Grace year of Deeper In for Children - you will find it at this link.  Today I want to write about why Deeper In for Children has a unified scope and sequence.

As Children Ministry leaders, we want to help children learn the "whats" - what the Bible says and therefore what we believe, what the difference is it makes in our lives for us to know what the Bible says, and we also need to teach the "whys" - why we are able to believe what we believe, but we also want to equip parents and grandparents so they are able to continue the teaching at hope - as we know, parents and grandparents and the most influential people in the lives of children.
