We have developed, and continue to develop, a wide variety of disability ministry curriculum to prayerfully apply to any class setting. We began by offering our “traditional” curriculum, which is our way of say it is PowerPoint-driven, for both adults and children. When we develop curriculum for adults, it is written for adults. We never “dumb down” any material and always seek to address adults as adults. Later, we introduced video-driven curriculum, where in addition to all of the other materials included in every package, we added a weekly video lesson for your group. Our entire catalog is available via our store, however, it could help to see everything in a different format, which is why we created our curriculum catalog!
One common theme brought to our attention when teaching an adult disability ministry class is the desire to have material for adults. Too often, adult disability ministries are forced to use curriculum meant for children. Simply being affected by a disability does not mean an adult should be spoken to like a child. Our adult curriculum is created with an adult audience in mind.
When you see us refer to our traditional curriculum, the short version is that these series do not include a video lesson for each week. We have prepared a themed series which is usually 4-5 weeks in length, all depending on the topic. You will find an optional video to play which will help teach your group the series memory verse in ASL.
The traditional curriculum typically includes the following:
The video-driven curriculum contains everything you would normally receive in our traditional curriculum, except you get the bonus of a video for each week’s lesson. These videos are perfect for helping start a discussion. They have also proven to be beneficial for those new to leading a class.
To give you more insight into what each type of curriculum would look like, we have several freely available disability ministry curriculum series available.
We encourage you to download them all and try them in your class.
If you feel stuck where you are, need help with a specific series, or need advice on where to begin with curriculum selection, let’s connect and setup a consultation!
