Virtue Based
252 Basics is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.
- I need to make the wise choice.
- I can trust God no matter what.
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
The curriculum includes 150 Bible stories and is based on a Core Virtue and Memory Verse as the framework for each month.
One virtue is presented for an entire month with weekly bottom lines that illustrate different Biblical illustrations. Each lesson includes an engaging presentation of basic truths as well as an illustration of how God built His character in people. Worship is always included so kids experience and learn how to celebrate who God is and what He's done for them. Small Group activities include a variety of games and experiences meant to promote discussion and life application of the lesson, development of faith skills, and most importantly build relationships among the leader and friends in the group.
ELEMENTARY-Kindergarten through fifth grade
By the time elementary kids move on to middle school, we want them to have been provoked to pursue a lifestyle of discovery, where their identity is determined by a personal relationship with Christ and the work the Spirit does in them so they can reflect God's character and impact the world around them.
Presenting God's plan of Salvation
Our hope would be that every child would embrace a personal relationship with Jesus Christ by the time they the leave elementary environment. John 3:16 is used to present God's rescue plan. Each month, John 3:16 is included lightly and naturally so that kids know that God is pursuing a relationship with them through Jesus Christ. God's plan of Salvation is presented in more detail during certain month's, but we want the plan of Salvation to be presented in a special environment where parents and kids can attend together ending with parents leading their own children to a decision to follow Christ. That environment can be planned as often as desired throughout the year.
