About Big Bible Words Curriculum
Click here to purchase the complete series.
The Bible is full of BIG words that can seem really intimidating to kids (and letâs face it, to adults to). So, instead of skipping over them, Big Bible Words introduces those words and helps kids to make these words a part of their everyday vocabulary. In these 8 lessons, children will come face to face with words like election, faith, regeneration, conversion, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance, and glorification, and will see what all these words have to do with salvation. Theyâll grow in their understanding of the work of salvation that Jesus did and see salvation as the gift that it is. With 60-90 minutes of teaching materials, these lessons are perfect to use for Sunday School, Childrenâs Church, mid-week discipleship times, or even as a pre or post baptism class. The 8-week format makes them perfect for summertime when you may choose to have a break in your regular teaching schedule.
Along with a focus on the BIG words of the Bible, these lessons also include games and activities to help kids learn the books of the Bible. The idea behind combining these themes is that the more familiar kids are with the Bible itself, the more time theyâll spend in the Bible, leading to a greater understanding of Godâs word (including the BIG words used to explain salvation). Plus, there are worksheets for each of the big words that can be sent home or used as time filler if needed.
Also included in this series is a BONUS lesson using the book âThe Princeâs Poison Cupâ by R.C. Sproul for large group. Teachers would need a copy of this book for the lesson. The accompanying small group activities include book discussion as well as application, memory verse and prayer activities. This lesson is a great lesson to use at an evangelistic event, or to wrap up and review this series on salvation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bethany Darwin spent 20 years working full-time in childrenâs ministry before recently coming home to raise her son. During her years in childrenâs ministry, Bethany discovered gaps in the available curriculum and often struggled to find a curriculum that worked in her church setting. It was this discovery that awakened a passion in her for writing childrenâs ministry curriculum.Â
Bethany is a popular curriculum writer for Ministry-to-children and you can find many resources of hers there. You can connect with Bethany through Facebook at âTreasure Trunk Booksâ or on IG at âTreasure Trunk Kids.â On these pages, she shares articles and resources for families as well as what she is doing to point her little one to Christ. You can also find other resources of hers there. Bethany is a member of Grace Community Church in LA. Bethany is also the author of "Sing and Play Big Bible Truths" (a book to help families teach the Bible to toddlers) and "Is It Time Yet?" (a family advent book).Â
Sunday School Store Curriculum for Kids: Bible Lessons for Children's Ministry at Church
Choosing a Sunday School curriculum requires discernment. As a Bible teacher, you deserve to know what we believe.
100% Committed to Teaching the BIBLE for Kids
We use the confessional statement of the Gospel Coalition. We are conservative, Bible believers, who see the Gospel of Jesus Christ the unifying principle of Christians.
Small Churches Make a Big Impact
Real ministry happens through relationships. That's why God loves to work through small churches. The Kingdom of God is not about bigger buildings but about faithfulness to Jesus. âFor the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.â 1 Samuel 16:7b
Sunday School Teaching is a Calling from God
Teaching the Bible is a serious calling. James 3:1 says, âwe who teach will be judged more strictly.â  As your resource provider, we feel the same responsibility too. You can trust the words in our material when you teach your class each Sunday.
God's Love is Always Relevant for Children
Children need teachers who love them, pray for them, and call them by name. The Bible is sufficient to change hearts. The Old Testament and New Testament Bible stories are filled with the Gospel when shared by a loving teacher.
Curriculum Should Not Break Your Church Budget
We know kids ministry budgets are tight and many teachers purchase curriculum from their own personal finances. Our material is available in affordable digital download format.

What Bible translation is used in your lesson plans?
All our writers are free to use the translation of their choice. This information is also displayed on the product page. Most materials use the ESV (English Standard Version) but can be adapted to your translation of choice. For KJV churches (King James Version) we try offer word docx file format to edit the scripture translation.
What Theology, Catechism, or Christian Creed should be used in religious education at churches?
Christian education is rooted in the traditional Christian creeds, the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. They summarize Christian doctrine, expressing the fundamental beliefs of a wide range of Christian churches.
When teaching Christianity to children, we believe the Bible is the best place to start. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit would help us understand God's Word. The goal of religious education is to know Jesus Christ personally and share his love with others.Â
