Very easy to use with limited volunteers. We needed something that was laid out in such a way that anyone can come in on a Sunday morning and help teach if a volunteer doesn't show up. Content is great!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you are having a great experience using our Simply Loved Curriculum to help people grow in their relationship with Jesus and each other.
We love how easy it is to use Simply Loved curriculum! Our volunteers don't have to spend ages putting together a lesson- it's all right there easy to read and takes minimal prep work! The scope and sequence does an amazing job of covering the Bible over the three years! The only reason I don't say 5 stars is our children's ministry is nursery to fifth grade and we find it a little too "young" for our 4th/5th graders it takes a little more work to make it dig deep enough for them.

I love this curriculum. I do have to change some things for preschool. Sometimes it seems way over their heads but for the most part I really like it. The kids love the Bible Buddies.

No exaggeration - Students and volunteers have been relieved and overjoyed since we switched to Simply Loved during our kids' church time. I used to spend a lot of time and energy rewriting lessons that were too long or too complicated for our Pre-K to 2nd graders, and finding suitable crafts and activities to go with lessons that had only a coloring page afterward. No more! Now I choose one or two of the hands-on activities from each lesson, and the kids always enjoy it. My volunteers are able to focus on the joy of sharing Jesus with our class, and I can put my energy into serving my volunteers and students in other ways. Simply Loved's format is familiar to those who use Group's VBS programs. The Bible Buddies are fun and interesting, the songs are loved, and Bible Discovery makes the stories engaging and accessible, using the senses and the imagination! The creators have already put obvious effort into the whole lesson, so it doesn't need hours of tweaking. Only two recommendtions: Switching out DVDs seems simple, but it would help our volunteers if both Bible Buddy and Music Videos were on the same disc. If not all the content fits on one disc, could it be organized by unit? Second, sprinkling discussion questions through the text seemed like it would keep kids involved, but it makes it easy to lose the class and draws out what some think of as the "boring part." This may only be an issue for us because of our time limitations and age range. We are keeping discussion questions to the beginning and end of Bible Discovery, and that works better for us. Thank you for the work you all have put into making Jesus known to children so that they can know his holy love.

The curriculum has been great for our monthly after-school program. The lesson plans have been easy for our Leaders and Crew Guides to plan and follow. The children love the crafts, activities and music. Thank you so much for creating this!

We love Simply Loved! We have a small class of elementary and preschool kiddos. They love the Bible buddies and we love that they learn a verse each unit! The lessons are very easy to pick up and go and any materials needed are very easy to find. We recently added the PreK curriculum and love how it’s geared so well to their age group.
