A 10-Session Curriculum for Kids Ages 6–10
Who is God?
It’s one of the biggest questions kids can ask—and one of the most important.
Children are already forming ideas about who God is through the stories they hear, the people they trust, the questions they ask, and the world they are learning to navigate. God Is… gives churches, children’s ministries, and small groups a thoughtful and engaging way to help kids explore those big questions together.
Across ten sessions, children encounter familiar Bible stories that reveal something about the character of God. They’ll discover a God who is faithful, creative, powerful, just, generous, present, a friend, a comforter, merciful, and loving.
But this series is about more than learning ten facts about God.
It invites children to wonder.
To open their Bibles and discover the stories for themselves. To ask questions without needing to have all the answers. To make connections between Scripture and their own lives. And to begin noticing how knowing who God is can shape who they are becoming.
Because when kids discover a God who is generous, they can practice generosity.
When they discover a God who cares about justice, they can notice what is unfair and help make things right.
When they discover a God who is present, they can remember they are not alone.
When they discover a God who is merciful, they can practice forgiveness and compassion.
And when they discover that God is love, they can begin to recognize that love in themselves, in one another, and in the world around them.
Each of the 10 ready-to-use sessions is designed for elementary-age children and includes:
Teacher Prep with Scripture background and the theological focus for the day
Arrival Activities that introduce the theme through play and creativity
Bible Skills that help children become more comfortable finding and navigating Scripture
Bible Lessons that bring familiar stories to life in age-appropriate ways
Wonder Together Questions that make space for curiosity instead of simply supplying the “right” answer
Hands-On Response Activities that connect faith with everyday life
Closing Prayers that help children practice talking honestly with God
Printable resources and activities to make preparation easier
God Is Faithful
Abraham and Sarah discover that God's promises can be trusted—even when waiting is hard.
God Is Creative
The creation story invites kids to notice the goodness and creativity of God and discover what it means to be created in God's image.
God Is Powerful
Jesus calms a storm, showing a kind of power that brings peace and hope in frightening moments.
God Is Just
Jesus clears the temple and helps kids explore what it means to notice what is wrong and participate in making things right.
God Is Generous
Jesus feeds a hungry crowd and invites children to notice generosity, abundance, and opportunities to share.
God Is Present
As God leads the Israelites through the wilderness, kids discover that God's presence goes with us through uncertain places.
God Is Friend
Jesus welcomes Zacchaeus, showing what can happen when someone is truly seen, welcomed, and given the possibility of a new beginning.
God Is Comforter
Elijah discovers God in rest, nourishment, presence, and a gentle voice—reminding kids that they can bring every feeling to God.
God Is Merciful
Jonah's story helps children explore forgiveness, compassion, and the surprising wideness of God's mercy.
God Is Loving
Jesus stops for Bartimaeus, listens to him, and welcomes him on the way—bringing the whole series back to the truth at the heart of it all: God is love.
You don’t need a theology degree, a giant supply closet, or three hours of prep to lead a meaningful Bible study.
God Is… is designed to give leaders enough structure to feel prepared while leaving room for the wonderfully unpredictable things that happen when kids start asking real questions.
The activities are playful. The Bible work is intentional. The theology is thoughtful. And the conversations make room for children to wonder, disagree, laugh, create, move, and discover.
Because faith isn't formed by memorizing all the right answers.
It grows as children learn to trust that their questions belong here, too.
Children are surrounded by messages telling them who they should be.
Faster. Smarter. Better. More successful. More popular. Less afraid.
God Is… begins somewhere different.
Before asking children what they should do, it invites them to discover who God is.
And slowly, something beautiful happens.
As children discover God's faithfulness, creativity, justice, generosity, presence, mercy, comfort, friendship, power, and love, they begin to see themselves differently, too:
Created in God's image.
Deeply loved.
Never alone.
Capable of compassion.
Invited to participate in God's goodness in the world.
Ten sessions.
Ten characteristics of God.
Ten opportunities to open Scripture, ask big questions, and help kids build a faith that can keep growing right alongside them.
