Run your team

A Sunday in Grow Elementary

Large group, small group, and something to take home.

Each week gives you every piece of a kids church or Sunday school hour. Run all of it, or pick what fits the time you have.

Week 1 of Blast Off

We can spend time with God.

This week, kids will hear about the time Jesus visited Mary and Martha's home.

Bible story
Jesus Visits Mary and Martha
Memory verse
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
  1. Set the room

    Decorating ideas, a series playlist, and countdown videos make the room feel like the series.

  2. Teach the big idea

    A teaching video made for elementary kids and a Bible story video bring each week's passage to life in large group.

  3. Break into small groups

    Small group guides give leaders questions that work, with adaptations for preteens and for kids with disabilities.

  4. Play and practice

    Activity pages and memory verse videos (with sign language) help the big idea stick.

  5. Build habits

    Quarterly discipleship activities walk kids through four spiritual habits that last past Sunday.

  6. Send it home

    Grow at Home handouts and monthly parent emails keep families talking about the same story.

From ministry leaders

What kids ministry leaders say.

Real reviews from kids ministry leaders, quoted word for word.

We have students returning week after week (the youngest kids literally running into classrooms!) and our volunteers are happy because teaching with Grow is clear and easy to follow.
Abby RendishSmall church in New England · four years with Grow · Trustpilot, 2024
For me, I love that set up doesn't take hours each week. … I love the big ideas each week and I love that it is so biblically based.
Sesha Ki ShonkDirector of Children's Ministry, Life Foursquare · stuffyoucanuse.org
I have tried curriculum from a LOT of different providers through the years both free and paid … so far, Grow Kids Curriculum is the best we've tried yet. I love that it's lessons and themes are centered around scripture first.

Good questions

Before you start.

The questions leaders ask before they start a trial, answered plainly.

Still wondering?

Talk it through with our team on a quick Zoom call.

How long can I keep it?

As long as you like. The four-week series and the free discipleship, event, volunteer, family, music, game, and leadership resources are yours to keep, so teach at your own pace.

Can I try more than one age group?

Yes. Preschool, Elementary, and Students are all in your trial. Pick the ones you lead when you start, and switch anytime.

Can my volunteers use it?

Yes. Send any week to a volunteer, and they'll get a phone-friendly page with the big idea, the Bible story and Scripture, and what happens that week.

Are the tools part of this free trial?

No. Grow Hubs, Grow Slides, and Grow Lesson Builder each have their own 10-day free trial: add a card, $0 today. They come with every Grow Curriculum plan, or keep just one tool for $9.97 a month or $97 a year.

Is this the same as the Lesson Builder free trial?

No, they're two different offers. This free curriculum trial doesn't include the tools. Lesson Builder has its own 10-day free trial (add a card, $0 today), then $9.97 a month or $97 a year.

What if our budget is tight?

We'll meet your church at any budget. No church is turned away over budget. If cost is the only thing in the way, apply for a scholarship or book a Zoom call with our team.

  • Two students smiling over their open Bibles on the grass
