Jesus said, 'Let the little Children come unto me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.' - Matthew 19:14

The children's church program at Two Rivers is a graduated experience of learning which has the goal of helping children understand worship and participation in church life in age-appropriate forms. Children's church leaders will use scripture memory, seasonal themes and the 252 Basics school curriculum as the basis for activities and worship during children's church sessions.

The 252 Basics Curriculum

We are currently using the 252 Basics curriculum. 252Basics is a unique approach to curriculum for churches and Christian schools. It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.

252Basics includes a complete set of resources for leaders as well as supplemental materials for parents and kids. The shared emphasis of both church and home instruction provides children with a consistent message.

The 252 Basics Concept

252Basics is a unique approach to curriculum for churches and Christian schools. It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.

* I need to make the wise choice.
* I can trust God no matter what.
* I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Each Basic Truth is amplified by a weekly key concept and systematically taught over a three-year track. The curriculum includes 150 Bible stories and is based on a Core Virtue and Memory Verse as the framework for each month.
