The Beginner's Gospel Story Curriculum for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Introduce children ages 2–5 to the wonderful promises of Scripture with The Beginners Gospel Story Curriculum for Toddlers and Preschoolers.

Kids know the value of a promise. A parent’s commitment to go out for ice cream inspires hope, but disappointment reigns when the shop closes early. Broken promises can bring tears. Yet unlike human parents, our good and all-powerful God always keeps his word. His fulfillment is better than anyone could have imagined!

The Beginners Gospel Story Curriculum for Toddlers and Preschoolers, written by Jared Kennedy, highlights God’s perfect promises through the stories of the Old and New Testament. Designed for children ages 2–5, each lesson centers around one of the stories from The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible. Each story’s theme is integrated throughout so that the songs, crafts, interactive questions, and games reinforce the story. With a total of 52 lessons, this Sunday school curriculum can be completed in one year and repeated with each new class of toddlers or preschoolers. 

• Curriculum package includes 52 lessons and copies of The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible and Big Thoughts for Tiny Tots, which provide the Bible story text and Bible doctrine questions for each lesson.
• Bold, colorful illustrations by Trish Mahoney capture and hold young children’s attention. Each week’s coloring pages correspond with the illustrations from The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible.
• Christmas and Easter lessons can be arranged to fit with the church calendar.   
• Could also be used as preschool Bible curriculum for homeschooling families.
• Download PDFs to share with teachers using QR code included in the book.
