LITTLE LAMB COORDINATOR

Little Lamb is for kids in kindergarten starting at age 5 in Agapeland! Kids will foster their relationships with God and their friends through Bible stories, crafts, games, and lots of exciting hands-on activities. Through small group discussions, kids will also build closer relations with each other and their leaders!

Little Lamb alternates yearly between two different topics: Prayer and Names of God.

Prayer:
It is important that kids to know early in their lives that they can talk to God just like they can talk to their mommy, daddy or a best friend. We hope kids will know God, not just know about Him. We hope they will hear from God, not just hear about Him. In this curriculum, kids will learn about prayer: how to pray, what can I pray for, and when can I pray.

Names of God:
In the Bible, God is known by many names; these names define him--as Creator, Protector, Friend, Healer,and Savior to name just a few. We learn more about Him when we study these names and where they are found in the Bible. The Third Commandment says, "Do Not Misuse God's Name." Through the study this year, it is our desire that children will learn new respect and honor for the God we serve!

Shooting Star [Grade 1-2]

Shooting Star is the Grade 1-2 fellowship within Agapeland. During programs we sing, have Bible story lessons, play games, make crafts, have small group time, and do other activities intended to help kids develop a love and understand of God. We aim to create an environment where kids feel safe to ask questions about faith while having fun and building friendships.

Shooting Star alternates yearly between two different curriculums: The HERO Training Camp curriculum and The Donut Man curriculum.

  • The HERO Training Camp curriculum follows the life of a Bible character named David. It teaches the kids how to become a hero for God just like David. It also teaches the kids to follow the promptings of their conscience through the power of the Holy Spirit. Captain Star is also a frequent visitor who leads kids in a “Hero Time” where kids can hear from real life everyday heroes and participate in activities that help the community.

  • The Donut Man curriculum reminds kids to “do not forget” or rather “Donut Forget” important aspects of living as a child of God. During each program, the kids get a special visit from Donut Man who introduces the “Donut Forget” phrase such as, “Donut Forget to Worship God” or “Donut Forget to Obey the Bible”. The kids then explore Bible stories that are relevant to the “Donut Forget” phrase as well as participate in various activities that reinforce the learning point of the program.

Faith Knights [Grade 3-4]

Faith Knights is the Grade 3-4 fellowship within Agapeland. Each time that we come together for Faith Knight, we will sing fun songs then spend time building relationships with our small groups. With different activities, games, crafts and stories, we hope to equip the children with the word of God so that they can continue to grow stronger in their faith.

Faith Knights alternates yearly between two different curriculums: The Free the Horses curriculum and The Armour of God curriculum.

  • The Free the Horses curriculum focuses on learning about self-esteem. It teaches that we are special because God made us, so understanding that is the beginning of self-esteem. When we recognize that each of us is unique in God’s eyes, our sense of self-worth and ability to take responsibility for our actions will grow. In Free the Horses, we meet a girl, Kelly, as she sets out on a quest to free some wild horses from captivity. Along the way, she meets new friends and learns to handle problems in a positive way.

  • In the Armour of God curriculum, kids learn that although we can’t touch or see the spiritual realm, it’s as real as the rest of our world. A battle rages between Satan and the followers of God, but in the end, we know that God will win the war. The Bible instructs us to guard and arm ourselves against attacks, specifically with the Armour of God.

R.O.C.K. (Relying on Christ Kids) [Grade 5-6]

R.O.C.K. is the Grade 5-6 fellowship within Agapeland. We lead various activities and teach lessons designed to help the children learn to love God and put their trust in Him. Our hope is to equip the kids with the tools to help them adjust from elementary to junior high school by relying on Christ.

 R.O.C.K. alternates yearly between two different curriculum: The Young Peacemaker curriculum and The Grapple curriculum.

  • In The Young Peacemaker curriculum, children will learn how to prevent and resolve conflict in a constructive and biblically faithful way. We will focus on sharing the principles of decision making, confession, forgiveness, communication, and character development. To accomplish this, we will be learning conflict resolution skills through a variety of games, skits, and other stimulating activities. The leaders will assist kids to learn the lessons and answer any of their questions or concerns through small groups. Your children will take home comics that review the lessons they learned during the program so that they can continue to remind themselves about conflict resolution skills throughout the year.

  • The Grapple curriculum focuses on tackling tough questions that kids might encounter going into junior high. Some of these topics include: Where did God come from? How come I’m not perfect? Why doesn’t everyone go to heaven? How do I know if the Bible is true? Preteens need truth. The Grapple curriculum aims to help them find it. These lessons grab the attention of the kids of R.O.C.K. and will teach them to search the Bible for answers and build a faith foundation that guides wise choices.
