What is ‘This I Know’ Curriculum?

63% of decisions to follow Christ happen in the ages of 4-14. Our goal is to give that age group a solid Bible foundation to grow on so they can confidently say: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so”.

How is this done?

The Bible is the foundation and source for all our lessons. In Romans 12:8 it says: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
God gave us the Bible so that we could learn about how Jesus loved us and the whole Bible supports that. Our goal is to show the kids ways ‘I know’ God loves me… and how ‘I should’ live my life on Earth.

Why is the Curriculum free?

Growing up on the mission field, I was surprised to watch my family purchase books with kids church ideas and crafts. Shouldn’t something like this be free? Yes, I believe it should. I write all my lessons out for the purpose of any church of any size to use it to further the gospel.

Why is there a shop?

The curriculum is free but paying the website bills costs a pretty penny. These items for sale help support the website, staff, and the little robots keeping it moving.

Who writes this curriculum?

Currently, this curriculum is written, designed, and operated by me… Hannah Jacob. I’m simply a sinner prone to selfish and prideful thinking who is daily taking steps to further my relationship with Jesus. Over time, I’ll be sharing my story on social media but for now know that a Biblical Kids Church has made a lasting impact on my life and I pray that I can do that for others as well.

What doctrine/denomination?

The lessons are best described as non-denominational or Christian. For a more detailed look into the statement of faith, see below.

Statement of Faith. What we believe and preach.

GOD

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

JESUS

  • We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

BORN AGAIN

  • We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

HOLY SPIRIT

  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

LIFE, DEATH, AND ETERNITY

  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

BODY OF CHRIST

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE BIBLE, FAITH, GRACE, SALVATION, WORKS

  • We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. (Sola Scriptura)
  • We believe by Faith alone we are saved and not by works. (Sola Fide)
  • We believe Grace alone is the source of our salvation through Jesus Christ. (Sola Gratia)
  • We believe through Christ alone we are saved. (Solus Christus)
  • We believe all things must be done to the Glory of God alone. (Soli Deo Gloria)

MARRIAGE, MALE AND FEMALE

  • We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Gen 2:18-25) We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. (1 Cor 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
  • We believe the differences between male and female, including biological differences, are divinely ordained, integral to God’s design for self-conception as male or female, and meant for human good. Therefore, the rejection of one’s biological sex and adoption of a transgender self-conception is inconsistent with God’s holy purposes in creation and a departure from Christian faithfulness and witness.

ALL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

  • We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Ps 139.)
