Cokesbury Introduces New Children’s Curriculum for Fall

Rock Solid: Building a Heart of Faith is more than just a Sunday school curriculum for children. Research shows that a child’s faith is developed through interacting with adults of faith. Faith cannot be taught - it must be caught! Rock Solid is a relationship-building faith journey, developing:

* A child’s personal connection to God as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ
* Friendships among children
* Bonds between parents, leaders, and children

Many Christian educators are seeking a Sunday school curriculum that is firmly rooted in the Bible, while also providing a faith experience that is as individual as each. Rock Solid offers this unique faith experience in easy-to-follow plans that are specifically built for each age level.

Rock Solid’s development team has years of successful experience in children’s Christian education. This unparalleled depth of knowledge, experience, and love of God gives Rock Solid a firm foundation rooted in proven educational and developmental research. Rock Solid sessions are built on a firm foundation with a comprehensive 3-year journey through the Bible with story-based experiences rather than verse-based lessons. By learning the key Bible stories, children will be better able to understand and remember the Bible’s message. Rock Solid’s scope and sequence follows the church year.

With Rock Solid, children are given examples and then encouraged to apply the weekly Bible story and faith experience to their everyday lives. Children do more than just memorize Bible verses - they experience God’s message through consistency, community-building, application, and dedication and commitment. Rock Solid creates a sacred space for children to know God and become lifelong followers of Jesus.

Rock Solid offers a wide variety of components, giving churches flexibility to mold the curriculum to meet their children’s unique needs and their church’s budget. caps.
