Children's Church Curriculum Dilemma

It’s that time again- time to purchase children's church curriculum for next quarter. And for some really organized folks, you are purchasing for the entire next year. Selecting a children's church curriculum that is right for you is hard work. There are so many children's church curriculums to choose from and so many different styles. Where do you begin? Do you even need a children's church curriculum at all? Let’s talk about children's church curriculum.

Even the best cooks understand you can’t cook everything in the kitchen. You must make some decisions before you begin a meal. Decisions like, “What am I going to cook? What do they like? What do they need to eat?” these questions are more difficult than actually cooking the meal.

YOUR KIDS ARE UNIQUE

Those are important decisions for your children’s church service as well. You can’t teach the whole Bible. They can’t digest the whole Bible at one time. You don’t have time to teach the whole Bible, so what are you going to teach. Ask yourself the same questions you ask when you plan a meal. What do your children like? What do they need? I see children’s church leaders that give the kids what the teacher likes and needs. This method doesn’t work nearly as effectively as when you plan with the needs, interest and development of the children in mind. Children’s church is church for children.

What characteristics are really important for them to develop? What are their needs? Where are they developmentally? The answers to these questions are crucial in the process of selecting your next children's church curriculum.

TEACH ONE THEME

What do you want the children in your children’s church to leave with today? Don't use a scatter gun, hoping to hit something. Place illustration after illustration on the bow of ministry, aim carefully each time at one specific goal. Don't teach on tithing and "jealousy" and "forgiveness" on the same day. Set your objective, such as today I will teach on "love." Each story, object lesson and puppet script should be on love. If you don't aim for something specific, then you will never achieve anything.

Isaiah 28:9 “Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand

It was Sunday School promotion Sunday. The teachers were grouped with the students. Each teacher was given a turn to share a testimony. One teacher’s response almost brought panic to the young pastor’s heart, “Well, we don’t use the curriculum. We just talk about things the kids want to talk about.” I am a firm believer children need time to interact, but just letting kids talk for an entire service isn’t my idea of effective learning.

Curriculums can be your best friend.

A good children's church curriculum can:

a. help you stay focused

b. gives you a specific goal to work toward

c. help you stay focused

d. serve as a guide to get you where you are trying to go
