Children’s Church, Beyond Basics DIRECTOR’S GUIDE, Spring 2026

Children’s Church is a separate and unique worshiping experience for your children that takes place during your church’s worship service. Beyond Basics is an extended session curriculum designed for use during the worship hour. It was developed to complement the two-through five-year old Bible Basics Sunday School curriculum. Either curriculum can be used alone, but the two together can successfully be used to direct children in learning one central theme during their worship hours at church. Children will learn to worship God through singing praises, engaging crafts and activities and Bible lessons that will build a lifetime foundation on God’s Word. Topical lessons correlate and reinforce our Bible Basics Sunday School curriculum. When used with Bible Basics, it makes a complete option for Sunday School and Children’s Church. Provides the director or teacher with complete instructions for guiding children through God’s Word. Uses King James Version Scriptures only. ____________ Spring 2026 Quarter at a Glance We Learn To Make Friends Lessons: Unit 1—We Learn to Be Kind 1—The Kind Stranger 2—The Hiding Place 3—Dorcas Helps Others 4—David Returns Kindness Unit 2—We Learn to Forgive 5— Stephen Forgives His Enemies 6—Jesus Forgives Those Who Crucify Him 7—A Borrowed Tomb 8—The Twin Brothers  9—A Father Forgives His Son   Unit 3—We Learn to Share 10—Friends Are for Sharing 11—Sharing Does Not Empty the Barrel 12—Sharing Makes Happiness 13—Sharing Life 14—Sharing with Jesus
