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, 5k, and lower elementary CURRICULUM:
Unit 12: King Solomon
Unit Description: Although King Solomon was given exceeding wisdom by God and he built the temple for the Lord, like Saul and David before him, his grievous sin proved that God’s people needed more than what any human king could provide. While Solomon’s sin should have resulted in the entire kingdom being taken away, God was merciful and allowed it to remain.
Big Picture Question: What is mercy? Mercy is when God does not give us the punishment that we deserve.
Session 1 : God Gave Solomon Wisdom
1 Kings 2-3
Session 2 : Solomon Built the Temple
1 Kings 6-9
Session 3 : Solomon’s Sin Divided the Kingdom
1 Kings 10-12
Session 4 : God Is Good to Give Mercy
Luke 18
Unit 13: The People Disobey
Unit Description: Solomon’s sin of idolatry had led to the kingdom splitting in two. Just as the people were divided against each other, they divided against God. They continued to try to worship the one true God along with false gods around them. As a result, God raised up prophets to speak on His behalf and warn the people to worship Him alone.
Big Picture Question: What is idolatry? Idolatry is a sin of the heart in which we love and value something else above God.
Session 1 : Jeroboam Disobeyed God
1 Kings 12–13
Session 2 : Elijah Served as a Prophet
1 Kings 16–18
Session 3 : Elisha Served as a Prophet
2 Kings 2
Session 4 : Elisha Performed Miracles
2 Kings 4–6

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 is Calling People
Memory Verse: John 1:12
In this lesson, children will learn that the appropriate response to the call of God is to follow Him. They will also see that it is an undeserved privilege to be a child of God. It is worth more than anything else.

Lesson 2: God Solved the Sin Problem
Memory Verse: 1 Peter 3:18a
God requires that a person be pardoned from sin in order to become a member of His family. The lesson teaches that everyone is born sinful. No one meets the requirements to be in the family of God, but God sent Jesus to free His people from their sin problem so that they can be adopted into His family.

Lesson 3: God’s Call
Memory Verse: John 6:37
In this lesson, students will examine the call of God in the lives of several people in the Bible to see that God calls people in many ways: 1) through His Word (Philip and the Ethiopian man; 2) through the testimony of believers (Lydia); 3) by creating spiritual interest (Nicodemus); and 4) through the conviction of sin (Zacchaeus).

Lesson 4: God’s Call Is Irresistible
Memory Verse: 2 Chronicles 20:6 or 2 Chronicles 20:6b
In this lesson, as students examine the conversion of Saul (Paul), students will see that God calls even His enemies, and His people cannot resist His call. There is no way anyone will win against God.
09/15/2024
Lesson 5: Are You Running from God?
Memory Verse: Hebrews 4:7b
In the final lesson, students will study the life of Jonah. Through his experience, they will learn that you may run from God but, if you are called by God, He will not let you go. You will either respond to the call of God, or you will resist.
