Spark is a faith formation program that gets children ages 2 through grade 6 excited about God’s Word. Spark lessons bring to life 150 stories from the Old and New Testament through games, art, music, and science, to accommodate all the different ways kids learn. And Spark’s online resources–activity ideas, preparation videos, and more–make lesson planning fun and easy for teachers.
Spark is offered in three curriculum model options—classroom, lectionary, and rotation—that can be customized to work with an existing Sunday school program.
With Spark, you’ll find every resource you need to help kids activate their faith.
Spark Lectionary
Spark Lectionary follows stories in the Revised Common Lectionary. Throughout the three-year cycle, each lesson comes from a Bible story in the Old Testament, the Gospels, or Acts.
This model is designed for classroom use and works best for congregations who are looking for a curriculum that connects readings from worship with Sunday school.

Spark Classroom
Spark Classroom walks through key Old Testament and New Testament Bible stories each year, in a two-year cycle. The Old Testament stories are presented in the fall quarter and the New Testament stories are presented in the winter and spring quarters. Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost stories are included in the lesson sequence each year.

Spark Rotation
Spark Rotation provides eight workshop rotation options for each Bible story. In this model, kids spend more than one week on a Bible story and visit a different workshop each week in order to experience that same story from different perspectives.
For kids in Kindergarten to Grade 6, each workshop rotation is focused on a rich Bible story or group of Bible stories about particular characters. Workshop rotations include Art, Bible Skills and Games, Computer Lab, Cooking, Creative Drama, Music, Science, and Video. Preschoolers experience an in-room rotation with Storytelling, Art, Snack, Music and Game stations.
Spark Rotation also includes an “All Kids” option, making it easy for smaller congregations or congregations who prefer a multi-age Sunday school program format.
The curricular resources are organized into four age groupings:
