Whether you have younger kids or older kids, here are some ideas for using the content on this page as a tool to help you win at
discipling your kids as you go throughout your everyday life.

LittleLIFE

A series about the Teachings of Jesus

Every great movie tells a great story. When we see those stories played out on the big screen, we can learn a little more about ourselves and the world around us. Jesus knew how powerful stories could be, and he made them a big part of how he taught his followers. In this series, kids will hear some of the stories Jesus shared that can help them see the big picture of a life spent following God. Kids will see that God helps us know what's true, the ways we can give back to God, how God sends us helpers, that God gives us second chances, and how we belong in God's family.


Monthly Memory Verse:

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
-Jeremaiah 33:3

KidLIFE

Jesus Loves

Throughout our stories this month, the love of Jesus shines bright. Jesus’ unconditional love reaches beyond all boundaries. Jesus knew the suffering ahead, yet His love compelled Him to move forward for our sake. Even in the pain of betrayal, Jesus remained faithful—His love never wavered. Through every act, Jesus showed us a love that is constant, sacrificial, and beyond measure.

Monthly Memory Verse:

"As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love."
-John 15:9

56LIFE

A series on Prophets and Provision

God remained faithful to His people, even when they turned away from Him. After freeing Israel from slavery in Egypt, God made a special covenant with them—they promised to follow His commands, and He promised to be their God. But Israel broke that covenant again and again, worshiping false gods and forgetting who they were called to be.
Through the prophets, God warned His people that their choices would lead to consequences—exile and the loss of their temple. Yet even in their disobedience, God never gave up on them. He promised to restore them, to give them new hearts filled with His Spirit, and to bring them home.
The stories we will learn this month will point to the gospel: God still pursues us, forgives us, and transforms us from the inside out. He’s faithful, even when we wander.

StudentLIFE

A series on the Nature of God

Whether you've gone to church your whole life or just started today, it’s understandable if you have questions about God and the Bible, especially when some things seem unbelievable. But our doubts don’t have to destroy our faith. We might just find our voice when we speak up about questions we have. In this series from the book of John, we’ll look at how Jesus met people where they were, showing that when we have questions, he’s always listening, and that even when we don’t understand, we can trust God’s character. We’ll also see that, when we can’t explain everything, we can trust what we know for sure, and trusting God’s plan is key to knowing that when we want to walk away, God isn’t finished yet.

Monthly Verse:

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."
-1 John 5:14

Our #1 Parenting Resource:

Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.

  • Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
  • Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
  • Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
  • We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
