Children’s Ministry

First Look uses several key strategies: Teach less for more: Repeats one key truth (Bottom Line) all month long Engage the five senses: Helps master the concept through creative activities Teach with the end in mind: Helps a child by age five, to believe:

God made me
God love me.
Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

Elementary – 252 Basics

252Basics is a unique approach to curriculum for churches and Christian schools. 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.
