The Core Curriculum for children between the ages of 6 and 8 includes 46 individual lessons to help develop the children spiritually, as they learn about God’s love, His promises, and His plan for their lives through well-known Bible stories. Ultimately, the children will be able to demonstrate commitment to the Lordship of Christ and reflect on a Christian worldview in thinking. Lessons include stories from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, focusing on “God’s World,” “God’s Special People,” “God is With Us,” and “Jesus, Our Savior” as lesson unit content. Each lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner.
