Jesus In Jeans Childrens Ministry Curriculum

THREE PHASES OF LEARNING: 
Each lesson is written with three goals in mind. First, we get kids to think about the main focus of that day’s lesson. Once they’re engaged, we want to help them understand what the Bible has to say about the lesson in a way they can relate to it in their everyday life. When kids understand the lesson, we encourage them to look for ways they can apply the teachings of Jesus in their daily lives. So your basic Jesus in Jeans lesson layout will look something like this:

HELP THEM THINK ABOUT IT
Small Group or Large Group opening – 15 minutes
Praise & Worship – 10 to 15 minutes
Welcome Intro – 5 minutes

HELP THEM UNDERSTAND IT
Focus Story – 20 to 30 minutes
Large Group Game – 10 to 20 minutes

HELP THEM APPLY IT
Small Group K – 1st  – 10 to 20 minutes
Small Group 2nd – 3rd – 10 to 20 minutes
Small Group 4th& 5th – 10 to 20 minutes
Focus Prayer – 5 minutes

DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE ANY LENGTH OF SERVICE:
We’d rather give you too much content than not enough. So we’ve designed the lessons so that you can include the important stuff first then add optional activities as time allows, based on the length of your service. All lessons have enough content to teach for up to 2 hours. We include suggested lesson plans, in the teachers guide book, for a 1 hour, 1.5 hour, and 2 hour service.
TEACHING TIP: If time does not allow you to include the entire lesson during your weekend service you could teach the optional sections during the midweek service (if your church has one) or as a small group during the week before or after the main lesson is taught.
