Curriculum

Thirty weeks. Six books. One unfolding story of God with us, built for kids who are tired of being talked down to.

Pilot Partner

National Community Church · Washington, DC

Pastor Mark Batterson's congregation across seven DC campuses is piloting the full 30-week curriculum with their tweens before it launches nationwide. Same families, same kids, same kit.
