Our Curriculum

ICC Kids Ministry uses the Gospel Project Curriculum to teach our kids how the whole Bible points to God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. We currently offer classes for birth-elementary school.

Our elementary aged kids (1st-5th grade) will leave the service during the sermon for an age-appropriate lesson. They will start the service with their family for worship and then return again for worship at the end. This allows them to start to see corporate worship modeled while also learning about the gospel in a way that meets them where they are at.

Below is some information on what the kids are currently learning as well as the songs they sing in class:

4k and 5k CURRICULUM:

Unit 5: Into the Wilderness

Unit Description: Through a series of miracles, God had delivered His people from bondage in Egypt. The Israelites headed into the wilderness on their way to the land of promise. Their journey, however, was not just to move them from one place to another; it was also to be a time when their hearts were to be moved in worship for their God, their true Rescuer.

Big Picture Question: What is worship? Worship is celebrating the greatness of God.

Session 1 : God Provided Manna

Unit 6: Away from the Land

As a result, God forced His people away from the land to wander in the wilderness where they continued in their disbelief and sin against a good, loving, and holy God.

Joshua and the Israelites would need to remember God’s Word, trust it, and live in obedience to it if they were to conquer the land.

elementary assembly CURRICULUM:

This curriculum is from Truth78. (visit Truth78.org for more information about the curriculum.)

Unit Overview: God Always Wins is a study for children on the greatness of God in salvation. The study is designed to  help children see that God wins over everyone and everything. It also encourages children to want to be  on God’s side, and it helps them to understand how to be on God’s side. The study contains five lessons  that present God as greater than all and most important—there is no one like God.

Lesson 1: God Wins Over Kings and Armies 

Memory Verse: Isaiah 46:9b 

Through the examination of four biblical events (the 10 plagues, Israel versus the Amorites, Israel defeats  Midian, and Nebuchadnezzar’s humiliation), children will see that God wins at everything He does, all the  time. The kings and armies of the world cannot resist God. He is greater than all the kings of the world.

Lesson 2: God Wins Over All Gods 

Memory Verse: Psalm 135:5 

In this lesson, children will see that God is the one true God and wins over all gods. Other gods are  powerless, and it is easy for God to win because nothing is too hard for Him. Children will also learn that  God deserves to be in first place; it is wrong to place anything before God.

Lesson 3: God Wins Over Satan, Death, and Sin 

Memory Verse: John 1:29b 

All people have a sin problem. Jesus died to free people from Satan, death, and sin because He is more  powerful than these things—He is the winner over Satan, death, and sin. Children learn that God wins  even when it looks like He is losing.

Lesson 4: God Wins in the End (The Last Battle) 

Memory Verse: Revelation 19:1b 

Children will discover that there will be one last, great battle in which Satan and all the forces of evil will  battle against God, but God will win and bring His children home with Him. The last battle is good news  for those who trust Christ, but it is bad news for those who do not trust Christ.

Lesson 5: Whose Side Are You On? 

Memory Verse: Matthew 6:24a 

The final lesson teaches that no one can serve two masters; you are either for God, or you are against  Him. If you are not on God’s side, you can get on His side. God draws sinners to Himself. He will help  sinners to get on His side.
