Scope & Sequence

Brite is a digital weekend curriculum designed to help kids navigate a changing culture, experience God’s presence, and walk in the ways of Jesus. Brite is centered on the Gospel and engaging for our kids.

Sunday School

1st grade - 5th grade

Rotating Topics

From September through December we will cover 4 different series. All different  but all equally important in understanding why to follow Jesus and how to be more like him.  1. Lord's prayer  2. Treasured! (Wisdom)  3. Thank-FULL (Thankfulness)  4. Humble Beginnings (Humility)

PreK - Kindergarten

Bible Adventure

During early childhood, kids really can learn relevant Bible truths. Each of the monthly units teaches engaging Bible stories that transfer to everyday application. This curriculum is fully integrated with YouVersion's Bible App for Kids, so your little ones can fall in love with Jesus in church and at home. Within this curriculum, we are using the Bible Adventure 52-week program for churches.

Nursery

Truths for Toddlers by Answers in Genesis

With Truths for Toddlers, children will graduate with five big Bible truths firmly in place:

• God is good.
• God is in charge of everything.
• God made everything.
• God wants us to pray.
• Jesus came to save sinners.
