What books of the Bible do Children Study?
Each year children study one of five books of the Bible-Genesis, Exodus, 1 and 2 Samuel, Matthew, and Acts.

Genesis provides the foundation. We learn that God is the Creator. It explains what sin is and how it began. It introduces God's plan to reconcile the broken relationship between God and people. It introduces major Bible characters—Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.

Exodus helps us understand God keeps His promises and works in His time to bring about His will. We learn how a group of slaves became a nation known as God's people, the Israelites. We learn about the life-style and ethics God requires of His people. We learn about the Ten Commandments, the creation of the priesthood, and the construction of the tabernacle.

1 and 2 Samuel introduces us to Samuel, Saul, and David. We discover that God's people demanded a king and suffered the results of that demand. We discover how Jerusalem became the center of Jewish religion.

Matthew brings to life God's plan of salvation. We learn about the birth of Jesus, God's Son. We discover the teachings of Jesus. We learn about Jesus' death and resurrection, and His instructions to His disciples to go and teach others.

In Acts we watch the birth of the Church as Jesus' followers share the gospel with others. We learn about the gospel being preached to the Gentiles, the beginning of missionary work, and the message of God's love transforming people.
