The visuals, activities, and discussions of Scripture will allow the Holy Spirit to sow lasting seeds of faith in your students and families.
Scope & Sequence

Year 2 | The Testimony of Jesus

We begin our journey with John, who is imprisoned on the Island of Patmos, on account of the testimony of Jesus. What is the Testimony of Jesus, and why is John imprisoned because of it? God’s plan of redemption is and will ultimately be fulfilled in Jesus. John tells us that the truth about what Jesus has done, and will do, is the very Spirit of Prophecy (Rev 19:9-10, 22:8-9). As you allow the Spirit to bear witness to who Jesus is, children will come alive in their identity and destiny.

See God's plan of redemption and how the Holy Spirit is active from Genesis to Revelation. Year three will show your children their identity and destiny and how God declares the truth of who they are through his indwelling Spirit. Special times of reflection, activation, prayer, and worship will allow kids to sharpen their ability to hear God's voice for themselves. Abiding in him and learning from him, Year 3 will deepen their love for the Spirit of Truth, and make God's word come alive to their hearts.

Creates Space For The Holy Spirit In Their Kids Church

Kids have enough screen time, and many opportunities to play and have fun, but how much of their week is spent contemplating his word and spending time in his presence? Kid’s pastors love the percentage of lesson time spent on discipleship, prayer, and worship.

Involves Parents In The Discipleship

We believe the greatest discipleship happens at home. That’s why we’ve equipped children’s pastors and parents with discipleship resources. Explore our Curriculum Parent Take-Home Guides, Language of Parenting podcast, and practical e-books designed to equip parents to raise lifelong lovers of Jesus.

Engages Kids' Minds, Souls, and Spirits

Many kids’ ministry curriculums focus on engaging kids minds with videos edited for maximum dopamine stimulation, and teaching methods from secular phycology. Kids ministry leaders appreciate the prompts, activations, and centers we use to engage kids at a spiritual level. While supporting these activities with fun, activation, games, and connection.

Inspires Their Kids Ministry Volunteers

We set out to disciple kids. But we’re seeing volunteers reawakened too — discovering new depth in Scripture and growing in their faith as they teach. A volunteer who’s spiritually engaged, full of purpose, and sees deep impact in kids’ hearts is the best recruitment strategy. Does your current curriculum do this?

Applies Directly To Their Kid's Lives Today

Timeline kids ministry curriculum presents the Bible as a timeline of redemptive history. It describes how things began, how things went wrong, and what God’s plan is for the future. If the Bible has something to say about things that haven’t happened yet, that means the story is still unfolding today! Your kids will learn how their lives fit within this storyline, not as a metaphor, but as a reality.

Efficient To Prepare And Simple To Teach

Say goodbye to massive Amazon lists of extra materials, props, and costumes. We use minimal supplies to execute each craft and activity, while providing options to do more. Children’s Pastors love saving hours each week in prep time.

"This kids ministry curriculum has truly blessed our teachers and our children so much! We're in month 5 of our year and we absolutely love it. The teachers and the children have been learning so much about the bible and the activities and games that go along with it are simple, but fun, but so thoughtful and always connect so well with the bible content for that specific week. It hits all the major parts of the bible and really sets an amazing basis for the kids so that when they grow up they will be familiar with the timeline of the bible! We love the focus on Israel, too!"

"We are 2 months into Timeline Kids Ministry Curriculum and I am amazed at what God is doing in our kids. Ultimately it’s Him but we are seeing the fruits of our labor in being consistent in the Timeline curriculum and seeing little ones who are feasting on God’s word and growing in relationship with Him. It’s such a blessing! I want to thank you for FaceTiming me and helping us to be able to do this with Summit Kids. It’s making a huge impact and it’s blessing the adults too!! God is so good!!"

Covering Nursery—6th Grade

Every child who enters your kid’s church should be eating the “meat” of God’s word. But how you prepare that “meat” will differ for each age group. The littles need their lesson pureed and spoon fed. Your Toddlers need their meat pre-cut. While your fourth graders simply need a knife and fork handed to them. This is how we approach teaching the Bible to kids of all ages.

Nursery: Blessing & Impartation

The main focus with this age group is creating a spiritual environment where babies feel safe. Your volunteers will have specific prayer points that go with the lesson.

Toddler—Kinder: Play Learning

This age range needs a lot of hands on activities, object lessons, and centers. The lesson activities and games will reinforce the lesson theme.

1st—3rd Grade: Foundations

This age group should begin to have short times of worship, prayer, and Bible discussion. With first through third grade we're building a foundation for discipleship.

4th—6th Grade: Discipleship

With this age group, more lesson time is spent in Bible reading and discussion with this group. This age range is ready to go deep. They can handle longer times in prayer and worship.

Videos That Engage Kids With Truth

Realistic Visuals.

Realistic visuals help reinforce that the Bible is real and distinctively different from the "Disney channel" shows kids watch at home.

Children Voiceover Talent.

When a child hears the scriptures explained to them by another child, they are noticeably more engaged. A child narrator also necessitates simple vocabulary and editing strategy.

Repetition Equals Retention.

Children need to view a video more than once in order to fully retain it. That's why one video covers two lessons and is played in back-to-back weeks.

Try A Free Lesson

Allow Your Kids To Hear It, See It, Do It.

Proven Teaching Methods.

Children are more likely to retain the main theme of the lesson when they hear the message, see a visual, and do a hands-on activity.

Memory Verse and Declarations.

Each month your kids will memorize a Bible verse that goes along with the theme of the month. Declarations about their identity in Christ are recited weekly.

Play Learning.

We provide activities and games that will incorporate fun. These moments foster connection and relational equity, while allowing the theme to sink in.
