PARADOS is a five-year children’s curriculum built for churches that lean on volunteer support.

Each year follows the arc of the biblical story — liturgically sensitive, narratively grounded, and designed to move children through scripture in a way that builds on itself year after year. It’s not a topical series. It’s not the same ten stories on repeat. It’s a plan.

Every session includes a scripture passage, a teaching point, a memory verse, discussion questions that go somewhere, and six modular activities — art, cooking, creative drama, science, digital media, and outdoor adventure. You don’t use all six. You pick what fits your kids, your space, and your time. Built for volunteer-led classrooms where adults are busy and kids are smarter than we give them credit for.

Each year is accompanied by a standalone Summer Intensive — a deep-dive unit designed for a focused summer stretch.

Currently available: Year 1 (44 sessions, Abraham through Pentecost) and Year 2 (45 sessions, the prophets through John’s Gospel), plus the Year 2 Summer Intensive: a full eight-week deep dive into Jonah. Years 3–5 are in development.

PARADOS works best in small to medium sized churches — the kind where the children’s director is also the pastor or worship leader, and the Sunday School teacher drives the van. It was built with you in mind.
