We see God’s order in the universe, from the seasons to the days of the week. He gave us six days in which to work and one to rest. We observe how each human goes through stages of growth.
- For instance, if we force an infant to sit on his own when he is not physically ready, he could hurt himself.
- We could do the same kind of damage emotionally if we do not remember the stages our children are going through and teach them appropriately.
- Try teaching a child to do a math problem his brain isn’t yet ready to understand and he may walk away hating math.
- If we are going to truly disciple the children the Triune God gives to us we must know who God created them to be at each stage of life.
- We must also understand that every child is unique, which requires individual nurturing.
Reality Learning

The adults serving your children need to know how children learn so the truth is presented in a way children can understand.
Reality Learning is a tool used in Sunday Plus Curriculum to help concrete thinking children gain an intuitive understanding of the abstract truth of the Gospel.
- There are Director and Staff manuals that can be downloaded.
Disciplers & Specialists
(click above for full explanation)
The Acts 6 Model makes it possible for a local Family of God to provide a ministry to children that meets each child’s individual needs. Specialists use the gifts God has given them to provide a high quality, creative, interactive presentation of God’s Word. Disciplers are thus freed to build relationships with kids and walk through life with them.
