Does this sound like you?

•  “I have no experience teaching the little kids”

•  “Little, young children scare me”

•  ‘How on earth does a K teacher get any “teaching” out of a 5 year old?”

•  “Teaching little tiny kids requires professional education background”

•  “I tried a couple times, and all I did was end up babysitting”

•  “I would love to help my grandchildren learn but definitely seems overwhelming, I’ll wait till they’re older”

•  “Teaching little kids is exhausting. I can’t come up with enough ideas”

•  “I end up wanting to teach my children something useful but then end up babysitting. It’s too frustrating.”

•  My church keeps asking me if I’m interested in teaching Sunday School but honestly, I’m terrified!

•  I was taught that Sunday School should be just be the Bible & S&H - why do we need anything else?

• I can do elementary-school children because at least they don't have an "attitude" and listen but there is not way I'd do High Schoolers! 

• How can we instill a love of Christian Science today for our young folks when they're parents don't even care?

• How can we teach young children importance of how to think? That's just too abstract for them!

• I can teach girls because (typically) they listen and write down ideas and we can talk. Boys no way! I end up spending time discipling them

• I feel "blocked" to think of other ways to engage children because the way I was taught was just listen to the teacher read out of the two books (The Bible and Science & Health!)

What will you learn?

• In this course, you'll gain insight into the personal teaching strategies I’ve developed over 40+ years of teaching children, from age 3 to adults, through "The Mustard Seed Method."

  • For Nonreaders (PreK-K): You’ll discover my go-to activities for teaching Bible characters and stories, as well as foundational Christian Science concepts, like "Illusions," "Stand Porter," and "Genesis 1 & 2." These methods keep young children engaged and learning while introducing them to ideas about how to think spiritually.

  • For Grade-School Children: You'll learn how I use worksheets along with a Bible 101 knowledge to foster a genuine love for the Bible. These tools help students connect biblical teachings to Christian Science principles and apply them in their everyday lives.

  • For Discussions with Older Students: You’ll gain strategies for facilitating dynamic discussions that help older students understand how the Bible and Christian Science offer practical guidance for navigating today’s complex world.

How does this work?

"I was working on my Sunday School lesson last night and saw your email.  What a wonderful program you have put together!  I purchased it, and it appeared on my screen right away.  I have a student who is so excited to be learning the books of the Bible in order.  I found your “Books of the Bible Descriptions” and am so grateful to have this teaching tool. It is perfect to serve as a content guide and timeline for events and characters.  I like the clear and concise way it gives an overview of each chapter. I printed it out immediately and it will help me in getting a better grasp of the basics of each chapter, as well as a directory to help look up answers to questions about each Book as we move forward.

Thank You so much for your dedication to our Sunday School students, teachers, children and grandchildren, as well as for your enormous love of the Bible and your willingness to share your knowledge. We will enjoy exploring the Bible with you!"

- Sheryl S.

This age group is eager to learn facts & history about the Bible so it's vital to set them up with as much knowledge as possible to create a solid foundation as they grow up. This section offers insights into how to engage this age group through sample lesson plans, Bible concepts to study as well as an “Idea Box” of about 12 activities that have been successfully used by Kathy Merrill for over 30 years.

        * included for only the "Grades 1-8" & "All Age Bundle" courses 
  
  

• Teaching the Bible to Grades 9- 12 (and above). Teaching older students can feel intimidating, but one key to success is relating the Bible to the challenges they face in their daily lives. Now more than ever, our youth are confronted with malicious and aggressive misinformation. To make the Bible both accessible and relevant, it needs to “come to life” as a source of answers and guidance, helping them navigate the difficult challenges ahead. We provide worksheets, prompts, and charts to address the tough questions this age group faces and to help them develop the skills to think critically and defend themselves mentally.
        * included for only the "Grades 1-8" & "All Age Bundle" courses

   
• Library for All Ages:  Massive library that includes "The Geography of the Holy Land Presentation," "The 10 Commandments Presentation," Bible Characters A-Z (about 40 characters), Bible History 101, Bible Maps 101, Bible Timelines 101 & Flashcards. 
        * included for ALL Courses

• Resources for Grades 1-12: A collection of Kathy’s personal teaching tools, including charts, worksheets, handouts, and diagrams, designed to help children develop critical thinking skills around Biblical concepts. Topics include "The Mental Courtroom," "The Tabernacle," and "Loving Others," among many others. These resources are ideal for children over the age of 7 who can read and write, as many exercises encourage self-reflection and written responses.
        * included for all except the "PreK-K" course
