One book is required for each teacher. 
This in-depth, non-denominational curriculum helps students gain a broad understanding of the Bible over many years. It presents classic artwork, the entire biblical story and themes that relate to practical issues in students' lives. Learn about how an annual membership could save money and allow you to print as many copies as you need! 
A boy dreams about a wall that is built separating people from each other and his prayer. He learns that Jesus is the gate that restores relationships. This video helps students talk about sin and the way it builds walls between us. It also addresses the nature of prayer (how we talk to God) and Christ's role in reconciliation. A single session lesson using this video is available separately ($1).
WorkshopCycles is a new way of experiencing Sunday School. It takes seriously the spiritual development of children while providing creative, hands-on activities to help children learn the stories of God and God's people. Children work on the same story or concept for several weeks, using different learning approaches each week. Available as both an annual membership or as individual cycles.
