Sometimes it can be overwhelming to figure out what curriculum and program to choose for your children at church. Here is a 10-point checklist to help you prioritize your ministry needs and decide what program is best for your children.
• Does it provide the Biblical teaching you want your kids to learn?
• Will you be able to run the program with the amount of volunteers you have?
• Do the lesson plans have creative activities that are easy for busy volunteers to use?
• Does the curriculum encourage children to use their own Bibles?
• Is the gospel clearly presented so children can enter into a personal relationship with Jesus?
• Is there a clear path for children to experience significant discipleship?
• Does the structure allow space for healthy intergenerational and peer relationships?
• Will children grow as whole people in different areas (spiritual, social, experiential, and physical)?
• Are club activities fun and meaningful to children?
• How much emphasis is placed on external rewards compared to intrinsic spiritual development and interpersonal relationships?
