Product Description

BOLT is designed for grades 1-6 and works well for churches ministering to any size group of kids through multi-age large group lessons and small-group relational time. 

The BOLT What Is the Church? Small Group Planbook gets to the basics of what the church is all about. Introduce your kids to the church – not the building, but people who build others up, worship, serve and share Jesus with others. Whether you have kids who don’t know much about church or your church is in a time of transition, BOLT’s What Is the Church? is a great tool to help the next generation connect with why church is important to them!

This 4-lesson Bible Exploration unit can be used as part of a short-term club program, after school club, children’s church, Sunday children’s ministry, summer church camp, or anytime that fits your church schedule. This is a way to go deep and disciple kids in a short amount of time.

Each Small Group offers a relational time for kids during which Small Group Leaders  help kids engage in a hands-on activity that further illustrates the Bible Exploration presented during Large Group time.
