Within each 3-week Big Idea, there is an Old Testament, New Testament and Church History/Missions story presented. Each week’s curriculum includes 8 different activities to reinforce the Big Idea concept and story.

Would you be interested.....

We are comtemplating starting a more in-depth workshop for getting started and using Praise Factory curriculum. This would probably take place in late June (after schools have let out) and would include not just learning about the three curriculums and seeing them in action, but also time to actually talk to someone about your particular situation and then assemble curriculum (and other resources, such as games and flannelgraph pictures, music CDs) based on your needs.

Initially, this workshop would be right here in Washington, DC. If it proved helpful and in demand, we might consider doing it also in different regions.

Your feedback on this idea would be helpful.

If you are interested in being a "guinea pig" church/school on this new idea, please let us know.
