Why So Many Churches Are Switching Curriculum Right Now

Our phones have been ringing off the hook. Our inboxes have been filling up. And our incredible customer service team has been busier than ever!

So why are so people looking for a new curriculum? And why are they so interested in GO!?

Well, here’s what we’ve been hearing…

1. There’s too much AI in the lessons.

It’s important that there are people behind your curriculum, not robots. GO! isn’t created by anonymous writers, automated systems, or outsourced content mills. Every lesson is written by me or comes through me. (And I’m a real person… promise!) More than that, when you call us, you’ll get ahold of another real person. 

Seriously…give it a try: 1-800-684-2302

2. The cost of curriculum is exploding.

For many churches, curriculum that used to fit the budget is now becoming hard to justify. We’ve always believed it shouldn’t cost a fortune to teach kids the Bible well. That’s why GO! is intentionally budget-friendly while still delivering top-notch lessons, videos, and activities. Because great children’s ministry shouldn’t depend on the size of your budget — it should depend on your heart to help kids follow Jesus.

3. I’m spending too much time rewriting the lessons.

Curriculum should make your job easier. Over and over, our users tell us how little they have to do to get the lesson ready. That’s because GO! lessons are clear, engaging, and practical right out of the “box” — so you can spend less time rewriting lessons and more time leading kids and volunteers.

4. Everything keeps changing.

Children’s ministry leaders don’t want constant surprises. They want to know the strategy, understand the rhythm, and plan ahead with confidence. That’s why GO! has stayed grounded in the same discipleship framework for over 10 years. (It’s what we call the E.A.T. Strategy. You can read all about it in my book, Feeding Faith.) Updates happen — but they’re predictable and clearly communicated.

5. They don’t listen to us.

That’s frustrating! GO! was built by children’s ministry leaders, for children’s ministry leaders. That means when churches share feedback, we listen. And we don’t make big decisions without considering the leaders who rely on our resources every week.

If your church is rethinking curriculum right now, it might be the perfect time to see what GO! is all about.

The best way to start is by trying it yourself. Sign up for our free lessons and explore a full sample of the curriculum — lessons, videos, activities, and leader guides — so you can see exactly how GO! works with your kids and volunteers before making any decisions.

At GO!, we’ve helped thousands of churches find their new favorite curriculum. We’d love for you to be one of them!
