Are you ready to begin a club and don't know where to start? We recommend that you begin by going through one of the Director's StartUp Manuals (http://equipu.kids4truth.com/files/folders/director_start_up_manuals/default.aspx). Kids 4 Truth has kept the curriculum as flexible as possible so that churches can choose how they want to use the program and not have to fit our mold. Ministries have different preferences on teaching (learning) methods. We have addressed this by writing two different Director's StartUp Manuals to use when setting up a program:
- Director's StartUp Manual: Traditional Club/Individual Study = for churches who like the "traditional club approach" where children work through the TruthBook on their own pace.
-
- Director's StartUp Manual: Focused Group Study = for churches who prefer to keep children learning on the same pace within the same unit (question/answer).
The teaching (learning) method you choose to use is not limited by the service in which you plan to use the curriculum. Either method will work in almost any setting. Therefore, neither of these methods are tied to one particular type of service. It is also important to note that churches do not need to feel tied down to just one method as some clubs choose to use both methods. For example:
- Some use the Traditional Club/Individual Study for their older children while they use the Focused Group Study for younger children who do not read well and/or need more help.
- Some use the Traditional Club/Individual Study for their regular church children and the Focused Group Study for children from unchurched homes.
