Come Adventure With Us

This curriculum isn’t just new to you…it’s new to us, too! We are in our first run-through of it. We offer the curriculum to you now, if you want to adventure alongside of us through any extra bumps and blips that are inevitable on a maiden voyage. Or, feel free to wait until we make the first crossing and learn from the experience. It’s totally up to you.

We will make edits to the curriculum as we find slip-ups. We will be offering implementation tips and any other curriculum updates in the Anchors Away Section of Further Resources, as well as including a few very important ones right here.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

Here are some tips that will really help you fit our curriculum to your needs.

1. This is the Works:

This section contains FULL DOWNLOADS of curriculum, just like the hard copies available through amazon.com. Looking for just a story or a particular, single resource? Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.

Few other churches choose to use all of the curriculum as we use it at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, because we have created enough curriculum to stretch 3 hours each Sunday (Sunday School and Church). You may feel easily overwhelmed.

2. Take the Tour:

Look at this section from the Praise Factory Curriculum Tour to get a good sense of what is offered in this curriculum and how it is structured, were you to use it as the lesson plans suggest (structure of every class is the same… learn it, once and you’ve got it down.) Deep Down Detectives Tour

3. Keep It Simple

Also, notice that within the lesson plan, there is a simple, basic lesson mapped out for you with stars next to these key elements. Many people using the lesson plan have found the stars just what they need. Others, use the Simple Story Scenes book as their complete, simple lesson. It contains the overview of key concepts and a colorful, illustrated version of the story, and also includes all of the take-home sheets. Each take-home sheet is a coloring sheets on the front and has discussion questions, prayer and a song on the back.

4. Use Bits and Pieces Instead:

I would strongly encourage you to choose Bits and Pieces a la carte downloads instead of these full curriculum downloads. Bits and Pieces allows you to download just what you need. If for some reason you find you want to use most of the curriculum as ordered in our lesson plan, then these full unit downloads may be useful to you. Bits and Pieces has instructions about how to helpfully choose what you need. I would suggest looking at that first. Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.
