We started using DiscipleTown several months ago and everyone is loving it. The spiritual growth of our kids has been insane! ...DiscipleTown has been better then words can really describe.

DiscipleTown uses a creative and adaptable town theme to teach practical "Disciple Skills." It is published by the creators of DiscipleLand, the most comprehensive children's Bible curriculum on the market. Disciple Skills are practical skills that every follower of Jesus Christ must develop in order to grow and live victoriously.
Rather than providing a rigid plan to follow, you can quickly and easily modify DiscipleTown to fit your ministry needs. There is more than enough material for a full length service, but you can also choose only the elements you'd like to use. By design, DiscipleTown is packed with ideas so you'll never be left needing to supplement the lesson, but its flexibility allows you to add your own unique teaching elements.
Unique DiscipleTown attributes include...
Undated - Use it anytime, between other series or on its own
Ungraded - Teachers select the levels of learning for various age groups
Translation-Independance - Encourage your kids to use their own Bibles
Build Disciples - Uses sequential learning and helps kids reach their full potential as disciples of Jesus Christ
Teaches More Bible - Focus on solid Biblical content over entertainment
Engages Kids' Interest - Exceptional visual design, creative videos with Karl Bastian, and in-lesson character role models
Connects to the Home - Take-home resources and parent e-mails help famlies engage the principles kids are learning

I just wanted to make sure you know how wonderful the DiscipleTown material is! We just finished up the unit 'How to Walk in Victory!' and I think it was one of the best ones yet! It ALL was so important for our children to know and I believe it will be knowledge learned that will make a forever difference in their lives for years to come! Thank you for all you do to make sure all our kids grow up to be strong disciples of Christ!
"Your material is untapped gems of gold! I can’t believe every church out there isn’t using it! I’ve taught for over 35 years and it has been the BEST material and my favorite by far!
"Blessings to you and yours! Be encouraged to keep up the good fight and work for the Lord!"
