Our Approach

Teach as Jesus Taught

Remember when Jesus compared faith to a mustard seed? And how he knelt down to wash dirty feet? What about the time he stuck his fingers in the ears of a deaf man?

Jesus used real-world illustrations, eye-to-eye conversations, and everyday objects to explain eternal truths in fresh and surprising ways. And no matter which Group curriculum you choose, you’ll do the same!

We've carefully baked what made Jesus’ teaching so impactful into every Group lesson. It’s nothing we thought up on our own—we simply followed countless examples from the Gospel. Group curriculum engages the senses, triggers emotion, and ultimately helps kids grow closer to Jesus and each other.

We create R.E.A.L. experiences—just like Jesus did!

  • Relational Icon
    Jesus was Relational.

    Jesus asked open-ended questions and created meaningful conversations. He touched lepers, invited himself to dinner, and made his teaching personal. Jesus wasn’t satisfied with people just knowing about him—he wanted them to know him. You’ll help your kids do both, inviting them into a growing friendship with Jesus.

  • Relational Icon
    Jesus created Experiences.

    Remember when Jesus rubbed mud in the eyes of a sightless man? That made an impression—then and now! Jesus knew that in order to cement understanding, people need to have a memorable experience. This is why you’ll find intriguing and powerful activities in every Group curriculum.

  • Relational Icon
    Jesus’ teachings were Applicable.

    Jesus expected his listeners to do something with his teaching. The practical applications you’ll find in Group curriculum help your kids put their faith into action in daily life. They’ll discover the Bible is true—and Jesus is with them today and always.

  • Relational Icon
    Jesus’ goal was Lifelong transformation.

    Jesus delighted in seeing faith move from the head to the heart. You'll feel the same joy when you see lightbulbs ignite over the heads of your kids when they realize Jesus is real and God has a plan for them.
