LEVELS OF BIBLICAL LEARNING

As kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them. Levels of Biblical Learning covers 10 biblical concept areas—God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, Salvation, Creation, Church, People, Family, Community & World—that children and students can learn as they study God’s Word. The concept areas are presented through different age ranges and reflect levels of understanding that follow how God designed children to learn.
