For the past few years,
churches have been getting
on the same page for a
six-week journey.
We zero in
on one topic
and everyone–
from kids to
old folks–grows
in similar
ways. By
enhancing churches'
weekend messages with
individual study and small
group gatherings, the
journey becomes a
multi-layered, multi-sensory,
multi-community experience.

Weekend
The weekend is the broadest platform for teaching, and we generally consider this the first step of the weekly cycle.
Every church does their own thing for the weekend—but
video and teaching objectives/notes are free for the taking.
Individual Study
An interactive, personal guide gives people a chance
to process the weeks' learning objectives and experiment
with doing things on their own. Any "challenges" in the individual materials link to the week's learning objectives.
Small Group
Small groups are a time for building community: debriefing
what's been learned or experienced, discussing prompts from
the guide and going through challenges. Small group hosts
are set up for success with facilitating materials that have
included DVDs, games, a group “box” and other printed materials.
Kids + Teens
Kid-friendly materials make the journey easy to share
over hotdogs and juice boxes—and we’re happy to share
our curriculum. For teens, the guide is teen-friendly,
and then it’s up to churches whether teens do their
own small groups, join the grown-up table or get some
sort of combo.
