How do you find and choose children’s ministry curriculum? This is a struggle – especially when we start adding up the time spent rewriting, reformatting, retooling our lessons week in and week out.
How do we get our children’s ministry curriculum just right, so we can maximize our impact? This is a big question every Kidmin leader faces. The options are vast, the nuances subtle, the features exhaustive. How do you know what curriculum is right for you and your children’s ministry – across every age group? Every faith community is unique – culturally, relationally, and doctrinally/theologically. So how do you choose?
The team at INCM has started the process of asking questions designed to help you strike the right balance in your curriculum journey. Here’s some examples of the 60+ key evaluative statements and questions we’ve already put together:
- Includes resources for family discussion and interaction that if I took it away, parents would ask to get them back
- Material is fresh, you want to learn it as well as teach it.
- Curriculum is centered in the Word of God.
- Resource as a whole prioritizes discipleship over programming.
- Material is well-written and readable, using short paragraphs and sentences.
- Recognizes and affirms the uniqueness of each person’s spiritual journey.
We would love to get you the free curriculum guide when it’s ready. Just sign up below and we will make sure you receive this before it is available to anyone else.
At INCM, we realize that children’s ministry curriculum is one of the primary resources used in children’s and family ministry to impact kids with the truth of God’s Word. So we have made Curriculum the special focus of the next volume of Dispatch, including a special insertion from the new curriculum brought to you by Warner Press: Speed Sketch.
