Church Weekly Curriculum Subscription
OPTION ONE: $100 a month ($1200 for a year)
Two lessons every week for a year: 1 PreK and 1 Elementary
Monthly check-ins on how content is going, giving real time feedback on what is working and what's not working in your community. You can be as hands-on or hands-off to the development of the actual content as you want. This is with other like-minded churches who are probably asking similar questions to you! I’ve noticed lots of pastors are being resourced but kids pastors are commonly under-resourced. Let’s chat and get to know one another!
Get to talk to other kids pastors who may have similar difficulties as you are!
OPTION TWO: $200 a month ($2400 for a year)
Everything above + 4 weeks of a private Parenting after Deconstruction cohort (normally costs $80 per person with at least 10 people; this allows you to have up to 20 or so folks in the class).
This class is a great accompaniment to the curriculum because it helps give the "why" and research backing how we do kids' faith development. My background is a bachelor in elementary education + MDIV—I’m combining these worlds in this class to talk a bit about when we teach certain concepts and how. The cohort would be delivered on Zoom or with your folks in one room, delivered over four weeks.
FAQ:
I’m a small church, does this work for me?
Yep! I wrote this with a minimal budget in mind (like the space we run this in and in which we use the research) but with an emphasis on play-based learning. I would suggest creating some sensory bins that I keep on hand and pull out. We rent our space so storage is often in my car or garage. You can make it work, less is more!
I’m a big church, does this work for me?
Yep! I think this would need to be modified a bit in some cases but it should and would love feedback for how it works for larger churches!
Why do Pre-K + Elementary have different lesson plans some weeks?
My research with brains + child development says we don’t teach all the stories to every age. I use a concept called “spiral teaching” where you add onto your stories by teaching details to the story as kiddos get older or adding in stories that feel more age appropriate.

My community can’t afford this, can I buy this in smaller chunks?
There’s a 10 kids or less in my program option if you contact me, small churches deserve great kids programs!
