Curriculum
Detectives 13 is online children’s curriculum, grades 1-5. Based on the song “Detectives of Divinity,” by Bryan Moyer Suderman (smalltallministries.com), the 13 sessions guide children as they investigate Old and New Testament stories, discovering clues of God’s presence in the scriptures and in themselves. Loaded with crafts, games, reproducible pages, artwork, activities, and memory verses, Detectives 13 is perfect for midweek classes, children’s clubs, and other faith formation settings.
