Bible Basics Curriculum Series

Kidology is excited to offer a complete 3-year children's ministry curriculum: Bible Basics Curriculum Series.

3 Years of Curriculum

This collection consists of three 1-year programs: Old Testament Chronological Study, New Testament Chronological Study, and Value Keepers of the Bible. This curriculum was written with extensive detail by Susan E. Harper, author of our popular The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe Companion Study. You can purchase the curriculum in the Kidology Store and use all the units from this series with grades 1-6.

We just started using this curriculum and are thrilled to have this resource! We are a small church, and don’t have the money for the expensive curricula out there, so this is literally a God-send! The kids and the teachers love it, and I already see the uptick in enthusiasm and learning!
