Welcome to the 52-Week Children’s Bible Curriculum

These lessons are designed to help children ages 5–11 know who God is, why the Bible can be trusted, and how every part of Scripture points to Jesus Christ.

This is not a collection of disconnected lessons. It is one unified journey through the Bible—from Genesis to Revelation—showing God’s faithful plan to rescue, redeem, and restore through His Son.

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
— 2 Timothy 3:16

What These Lessons Are

Each weekly lesson is:

• Chronological – Helping children understand where each passage fits in God’s big story
  
  

• Christ-Centered – Every lesson points clearly to Jesus: our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King
  
  

• Scripture-Faithful – Rooted in the truth that the Bible is God’s trustworthy Word
  
  

• Age-Appropriate – Written to be understood by children, without watering down truth
  
  

• Apologetics-Aware – Gently equipping children to answer common questions with confidence and faith
  
  

Children will learn that the Bible is made up of 66 books, written by over 40 authors, yet tells one unified story—God’s story of love and redemption through Jesus.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
— Psalm 119:105

How the Lessons Work

Each lesson is built for a 10-minute teaching window and includes:

• A clear Big Idea rooted in Scripture
  
  

• A short memory verse children can carry with them
  
  

• A warm, engaging lesson narrative that explains the Bible passage clearly
  
  

• Life application that connects truth to a child’s everyday world
  
  

• A simple defending-the-truth moment that answers a common question kids ask
  
  

• Discussion questions and a low-supply activity
  
  

• A parent take-home sheet to continue discipleship beyond Sunday
  
  

Every lesson reinforces these foundational truths:

• The Bible is true
  
  

• God is one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
  
  

• Jesus loves children
  
  

• Jesus died on the cross and rose again so we can be forgiven and saved
  
  

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
— Hebrews 13:8

Best Practices for Teachers

You do not need to be a Bible expert to teach these lessons. You simply need to be faithful.

Before class:

• Familiarize yourself with the Scripture passage
  
  

• Trust that God’s Word will do the work
  
  

During class:

• Teach with warmth, confidence, and clarity
  
  

• Read Scripture aloud when prompted
  
  

• Invite children to ask questions without fear
  
  

• Keep Jesus at the center of every explanation
  
  

After class:

• Encourage families to use the take-home sheet
  
  

• Remember that spiritual growth happens over time
  
  

• Trust God with the results
  
  

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
— Matthew 19:14
