Overview
Foundational Pillars for the Gospel Light Sunday School Curriculum
Based on the Bible
Successful children’s ministries teach the Bible in ways that are relevant to each age and stage of life and sensitive to the spiritual needs God has hardwired into all of us.
Values Relationships
Successful children’s ministries recognize that spiritual growth happens best in the context of close personal relationships. It’s about people leading other people to Jesus.
Offers a complete plan from Birth to Adulthood
Successful children’s ministries have a comprehensive plan from birth through adulthood. This plan must be sensitive to the spiritual seasons God has designed for all of us.
Focuses on Life Transformation
The goal of a successful children’s ministry is changed lives. Everything from the stories and activities to the music is designed to help teachers and leaders layer God’s truth into a child’s life in a life-transforming way.
