Mustard Seed Series® Membership

BIBLE-BASED K-9TH GRADE SUNDAY SCHOOL

This in-depth, non-denominational curriculum helps students gain a broad understanding of the Bible over many years. It uses classic artwork and literature to enhances learning the entire biblical story and themes that relate to practical issues in students' lives. Teachers, especially those new to teaching or short on time, love this curriculum for its easy to follow instructions and convenient preparation materials.

The Mustard Seed Series® is offered for grades K-9th. It is also arranged for smaller churches to use with classes including two age groups. The 8th and 9th grade curriculum is designed to be used as confirmation preparation; it provides an overview of the Bible and Church history and can also be used with adults preparing for confirmation or church membership.
 
The Mustard Seed Series®:
  • Is organized thematically around the Old and New Testaments
  • Presents our faith story clearly
  • Encourages students to think critically about Bible texts
  • Teaches children and their parents how to pray together
  • Requires minimal preparation for weekly lesson
 
The Mustard Seed Series® is written by The Rev. Anita Kiere, a UCC minister who is a graduate of Yale Divinity School. This curriculum provides the depth and scholastic challenge desired by congregations who want their children to really learn the entire Bible, rather than just a few key stories.
 
One DRE said:
            "We are a very small church. [Mustard Seed Series®] is easy to
             use and... it even works with inconsistent student attendance.
             Everything is laid out for [teachers]. There is a lot of variety
             and the Series is not boring." --Emily Audette, (formerly)
