“The simplicity of the curriculum is refreshing. The theology of Illustrated Ministry is solid, the openness to wonder about the mystery of God is there, and what better way to work out your wrestling with who God is in your life than through coloring and conversation with children. Thank you again so much for the way you’ve helped us reach our children in new ways.”

The Beatitudes: An Illustrated Curriculum
The Beatitudes: An Illustrated Curriculum is an intergenerational 12-session verse-by-verse study of the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew. It is incredibly flexible, adaptable, and formative for your entire Sunday school program and the whole family. This curriculum was specifically designed to be led virtually.
The Lord's Prayer: An Illustrated Curriculum
The Lord's Prayer: An Illustrated Curriculum is a flexible six-session, low-stress curriculum on the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew. This verse-by-verse study is also suitable for mixed-age groups and intergenerational settings. Each component is an invitation to experience this popular prayer through art, reflection, and discussion.
“I was skeptical about whether a virtual and at-home summer experience for families could be as impactful as Vacation Bible School, but Compassion Camp has proved to be every bit as significant in the faith development of the children in our congregation as anything we’ve done. During my virtual conversations with kids along the way, I began to see them connecting their faith with what’s happening in the world. Compassion Camp is amazing!”

Compassion Camp can be used virtually, in a hybrid model, or as an in-person VBS program.

It is geared toward preschool-age children and K-5th graders, and it is incredibly flexible, adaptable, and fun for the entire family (older siblings included) as well as your entire congregation!
