17 - The Gospel Project Curriculum
Our ultimate goal in kids’ ministry is to lead children to the knowledge of Christ and the acceptance of Him as their Lord and Saviour, which is why we want every lesson to point to Jesus. We feel that The Gospel Project® by Lifeway is the curriculum that best conveys the heart of Gospel-centred ministry.
