"Five Reasons I Love The Gospel Project" by Adam Mabry

July 11, 2013 | Matt Capps

We are always encouraged when we find church leaders giving The Gospel Project endorsements on their personal blogs! Adam Mabry is the Lead Pastor of Aletheia Church in Boston, MA. Here is a blog post that Adam wrote titled “Why I Love The Gospel Project“. The team at Lifeway has done an amazing job with this. The curriculum is so expansive that it’s mind-blowing. We initially adopted TGP for Aletheia Kids. But now we’re looking at ways to work this curriculum into our groups and discipleship process. Here are five reasons I love The Gospel Project Our Kids Love It Look, if your kids don’t like kids’ church, that’s just not a win. The curriculum is so fun, in fact, that at home my kids are begging me to do the lessons. BEGGING ME. That’s just plain awesome. Jesus is the Hero Our kids are learning how to read the bible in its grand, redemptive-historical themes. Now this isn’t the only way to read the Scriptures, but it’s a hugely important one. I didn’t learn to do this until I was about 22 and already in ministry. It’s Church Plant Friendly We are a church plant. We meet in a YMCA. We need a curriculum that is awesome AND doesn’t require a Ph.D., $250,000, or a miniature sized Disney film set to pull off. TGP hits the mark between quality and execution for us. Our Kids Team Loves It Our awesome Kids Director absolutely loves this curriculum, as do the teachers. Translation: they have fun teaching our kids! When anything is taught with enthusiasm it’s automatically better. It’s a Great Discipleship Tool For us, Kids Church isn’t about giving the kiddos a fun experience and lots of snacks while the grown ups do the important stuff. We’re trying to disciple our kids, and this curriculum helps us do just that.

    I looked at the sample lesson and I’m curious – is there a “walking it out” component to most of the lessons? For example, when it comes to the lessons about how Jesus fed the poor, is there a connection made for how the kids can serve the poor in their community? Is there a practical application regarding praying for the sick?

      Yes, each lesson not only has a missional application, but there are also thought provoking questions through the material that are intended to encourage action.

      We have preschool, younger kids, and older kids. Most people use younger kids up until 3rd grade and use older kids afterwards until they reach middle school.

    Is your preschool curriculum considered to be for 4 and 5 year olds? That was my assumption. I couldn’t find a curriculum geared toward toddlers, do you have anything for ages 2 and 3?
    Thanks for your time!

      Hi, Allison. We don’t prescribe specific ages to the groups, but preschool is designed for about that age. Adding a Babies and Toddlers leader guide is one of the changes to the second cycle of The Gospel Project for Kids due out this Fall! You can download 4 sample sessions for all of our age groups at gospelproject.com/2015. Let me know if you have any questions: brian.dembowczyk@lifeway.com.
