We Are A Kids Ministry Too!
Elevate began in 2005 within the heart of the FC Kids ministry at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. Since then, Elevate has developed five years of elementary curriculum and three years of preschool curriculum, offering both in DVD and digital formats. From preschool through 5th grade, children can enjoy a complete Elevate experience—progressing through engaging, Bible-based lessons without ever repeating a single one!
We unquestionably drew directly from the hands-on experiences of the FC Kids weekend ministry, applying the same energy, creativity, and practical insights to every Elevate curriculum resource.
We want to make Elevate Jr. and Elevate Kids curricula available to ministries around the world. Elevate Kids digital curriculum can be for flexibly in Sunday School, children’s church, or kids’ worship environments.
Elevate’s Vision And Core Principles Match That Of The Local Church
Our vision for Elevate is simple. We exist to Reach Up, Reach Out, and Reach In. These three principles are the biblical mandates of the local church.
Reach Up
Create an exciting, God-honoring environment for kids’ worship. Whether in children’s church, Sunday School, large group worship, or small groups, the Elevate curriculum teaches children that God designed everyone to worship Him and that we express true love and worship through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Reach Out
Elevate helps you create a fun, engaging kids’ church experience that excites children and inspires them to invite their friends. It equips your ministry to reach families in your church and community with the love of God. Through each lesson, kids grow in their faith and learn to share the message of Christ with others.
Reach In
Facilitate Bible lessons and application through small group activities. Because the Christian life involves constant growth, Elevate provides practical biblical principles children can apply every day. Through these lessons, kids learn to grow as Christ-followers by reading the Bible, praying, serving, and giving.
Elevate’s Core Principles Are Kid’s Ministry Focused
Elevate centers every lesson on God’s Word
All lessons emerge from a Bible Lesson, and then the elements are built upon its foundation. Since we believe the Bible is the best leadership tool to equip children, it also helps them to become the leaders God designed them to be.
Elevate Teaches through a Dynamic Video-driven Format
As a result, to make learning even more effective, multiple video elements help you teach your lesson through a medium that kids love, engage with, and learn from.
Elevate Teaches through Themed Series
Every 8 weeks, a new series Theme can begin, subsequently covering a biblical topic or person. Its design is to resemble a theme park map to capture children’s interest and build excitement for each upcoming themed series.
Elevate Is Application Specific
Every lesson contains an applicational truth that children can relate to and incorporate into their everyday life, consequently shaping their character in a godly manner and helping them become the leaders God is designing them to be.
We Design Elevate To Help You Train Your Volunteers
The most effective way to train someone isn’t by telling or having them read instructions, but by showing them what to do. For each lesson, we film examples so your volunteers can watch and understand exactly what to do.
