Endorsements
“What do you want most for your children? Salvation, of course! You want Jesus Christ to be at the center of their lives. Everything else is small compared to this big matter. Life is short and eternity is forever. Growing in God’s Word brings the big stories of the Bible to our K–5 children in a curriculum that is faithful to Scripture, clear, and interactive. It interweaves the big doctrines of the Christian faith into the stories. It applies lessons to our children’s lives. Use this valuable resource and pray that the Holy Spirit will bring it home to their hearts.”
Mary Beeke, author, The Law of Kindness and Teach Them to Work.
“Finally! Ligonier has produced an excellent Sunday school curriculum that introduces children to the story of Scripture within the covenantal framework. Growing in God’s Word can help your children witness the Lord’s great work of salvation. With the Spirit’s help they will come to believe the Bible, trust in Christ, adore sovereign grace, and live for the glory of the triune God. This is exactly what our church has been looking for!”
Rev. William Boekestein, Immanuel Fellowship Church, Kalamazoo, MI.
“Growing in God’s Word is the best Bible curriculum for children that I have seen so far. Simple and yet exhaustive in its instructions, it facilitates the task of parents and teachers—even on their busiest days. As expected from a Ligonier product, it is theologically sound, and each lesson is spiritually nourishing for both teachers and children. I wish this was available when I was teaching my kids and when I served as Sunday school teacher. I highly recommend it.”
Simonetta Carr, author, the Christian Biography Series for Young Readers.
“I love Growing in God’s Word for three reasons: (1) the curriculum is designed to teach children an entire overview of the Bible in a year; (2) the lessons are user-friendly for the teachers so that they can pick up the curriculum and teach with step-by-step instructions; and (3) it is all done with a robust Reformed framework so that the children are learning the basics of the Reformed faith (including recommended catechism questions). Many churches, teachers, and children will be blessed by this curriculum in the coming years.
Rev. Grant R. Castleberry, Pastor-Teacher, The King’s Chapel, Raleigh, NC.
“The church boasts no greater privilege or duty than to teach the Bible to the next generation. Growing in God’s Word is a marvelous, trustworthy, and much-needed resource that assists us in this crucial task. The Reformed and confessional curriculum is a reliable roadmap through Scripture, helping us to lead our covenant children into the arms of our beloved Savior.”
Dr. Jon D. Payne, Pastor, Christ Church Presbyterian, Charleston, SC
Executive Coordinator, Gospel Reformation Network.
“It is every Christian’s honor, privilege, and responsibility to pass the faith on to the next generation. This curriculum is ideally suited to help parents and churches do that well. It is deeply biblical, it is grounded in the gospel, and it faithfully teaches the many treasures of the Christian faith. I highly recommend it!”
