We use the 252 Basics Orange Curriculum. They and we believe that every moment counts. "From the time a child is born until they graduate high school, you’ll have 940 weekends with them. If your child is in Kindergarten, you have 636 weekends left. If your child is in third grade, you have 468 left. When your child is in fifth grade, you have 364 left. It happens so fast. We want to help you capture the time you have."
Every lesson and resource we offer helps kids discover who Jesus is, and then shows them how to put their faith into practical action on a Tuesday morning when they’ve overslept or on a Friday afternoon when the teacher is playing favorites. 252 Basics is dedicated to helping children grow in wisdom, faith and friendship.
We want kids to MAKE WISE CHOICES.
BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS.
DEVELOP A DEEPER FAITH
LOVE GOD. LOVE OTHERS. BECOME INVOLVED (DIVE IN).
From retro toys to fashion trends, we all love a good throwback. (Especially for grown-ups because it reminds us of being young again.) There are things that remind us of a moment in time, but other things feel timeless and like they're always in style. In this four-week series, kids will travel through the decades and see that the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels are always trending. As we hear from Jesus, we’ll see it's always good to be humble, we can always forgive, Jesus is always fair, and love always needs action.
