Choosing Curriculum

Choosing curriculum

The first step in choosing curriculum is to select a team to prayerfully consider your church’s ministry and vision. Your church’s main purpose and vision for ministry can establish a discipleship pathway for all you do and will guide programmatic decisions and curriculum choices. Deciding what you’d like children, youth, and adults to know about their discipleship journey will help you determine what to teach them.

EQUIP. TEACH. FORM.

RESOURCES FOR
DISCIPLES OF ALL AGES.

The articles below will help you identify your needs, capabilities, and hopes. Pray for wisdom and clarity. 

Then use the curriculum charts to sort through curriculum options. Remember, your choice will help your people grow in the knowledge and love of God.
