The Firelight II Experience

Imagine coming to church to stage a play, put together puzzles, perform music, or engage in group discussion!

Firelight II is not a lecture approach to education. Instead, it uses experiences and activities to get learners moving — living what is taught.

  • Firelight II is based on Bible stories.
  • Firelight II uses the Theory of Multiple Intelligences as a framework for teaching Bible stories.
  • Firelight II moves faith education beyond simply being the handoff of information.
  • Firelight II establishes age-appropriate expectations that allow comfort in kid-friendly settings. It frames ground rules for successfully flexible schedules and experiences.
  • Firelight II uses group cooperation not adult control to shape what kids learn, and provides a shared platform and comprehensive process for Bible learning that really sticks.

The unique, contemporary learner resources present Bible stories in age-appropriate ways — while leaders add spice using art, science, drama, technology, and even more options to the learning experience. All learner materials are quality constructed to last beyond Sunday School — for playing, learning, exploring, and enjoying at home.

How is Firelight II organized?
Firelight Bible Learning Curriculum is organized into units. Each unit has resources to explore five Bible stories. Each of the five Bible stories has material and clear directions for exploring that story over two to four sessions — using each unit for as few as ten weeks and as many as twenty weeks.

Firelight II units are not dated, allowing churches the freedom to select the units that they wish to use at particular times. Firelight's flexibility allows churches to adapt the material to their setting. It allows teachers to adapt to what works in their classroom.

In addition to course learner resources and leader resources, other Firelight planning resources, enrichments, and creative essentials about kids and christian education are available.

Because of the flexibility of the program, the units can be purchased and used independently and in any order.
