Think about it. If you really treat EVERY KID, whether they believe what you believe or not, whether they go to your church or not, whether they are Christians or not, like they are made in the image of God and have the potential to

BELIEVE, IMAGINE, and LOVE… Then it should influence how you teach.

A LOT OF THINGS COULD CHANGE. It could also change what kids and teenagers IT COULD CHANGE WHAT PARENTS IN

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO

IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

EVERY WEEK.

THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES . . . AND WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT GOD

This one idea can affect… How they make decisions. How they use technology. How they relate to their parents. How they see the church. How they care about people. How they trust God.

So if you teach and lead like every child is made in the image of God,

YOU COULD PROFOUNDLY AFFECT THEIR FUTURE.

We all know that every leader and parent agree on one thing when it comes to their kids. They all want their kids to have a better future.

THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO MAKE SMARTER & WISER DECISIONS DEVELOP STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS HAVE A DEEPER FAITH

What if we took our cue from Jesus when He said the Greatest Commandment is to . . .

LOVE GOD & LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF?

It’s simple. Just make sure every story, every principle, every truth reinforces to everyone what it means to love God and be loved by God.

THINK ABOUT THE GOSPEL STORY. JESUS LIVED A LIFE THAT MODELED

JESUS DIED SO THAT HE COULD

JESUS TAUGHT IN A WAY THAT

IMAGE OF GOD BY HIS SPIRIT.

That’s why we happen to think that every kid who follows Jesus will

GROW UP TO REFLECT THE IMAGE OF GOD IN A WAY THAT IT WILL IMPACT THEIR FUTURE.

SIMPLE FOR PARENTS TO IMPLEMENT AT HOME

Orange spans 3 distinct stages of life. We use the term Scope and Cycle to illustrate the recurring themes of wonder, discovery and passion that mark a child’s understanding of God. This overall strategy synchronizes the efforts of all age-group leaders and parents around common goals for the spiritual growth of kids.

You increase your potential to influence a child when you tap into a parent’s influence. Orange curriculum offers unique Parent Cues to partner with parents at home and combine influences. Orange resources include onsite FAMILY EXPERIENCES (FX) for weekly or monthly events that can connect and engage families in the overall strategy.

EASY TO CUSTOMIZE FOR YOUR CHURCH

The curriculum builds on the idea that spiritual growth is relationally driven. When you put a trusted adult (beside a parent) in the life of a child or teenager, you provide an additional clear voice reinforcing core values. So our strategy emphasizes small groups, making it easy to connect kids to mentors and leaders who can personally invest in them.

Orange curriculum is known for innovation and creativity. Our writers, editors, video producers and creative directors continually seek new ways to say, show and teach timeless truths. You can download newly created resources every month (two months prior to when they will be taught).

Our curriculum trademark: bend it, shape it, make it your own. Because it’s web-based, the material can be crafted to fit your environment, using editable text files and customizable graphics.
