Space — it’s the final frontier. It’s also the backdrop for “3, 2, 1…Blastoff,” an out of this world voyage through the Book of James. Kids will have to buckle up as CHIP takes them through the galaxies’ toughest training course and prepares them for the adventure of a lifetime — one that will help them put their faith into action. These space cadets may not be NASA certified by the end, but they’ll certainly know how to live long and prosper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GO! Curriculum?

GO! is a chronological children’s ministry curriculum for preschool and elementary. Kids join the storytelling and see how each Bible story fits into God’s big story. Four lessons a year (marked *** in the lesson list) give kids a clear chance to respond to the gospel.

How is GO! different from other curriculum?

GO! takes kids through the Bible in order, with different stories each year over a 3-year cycle. Each 4 – 5 week unit uses a new storytelling style (themes, props, games), and volunteer training, parent resources and media are built in.

What does a typical lesson include?

Leader prep, a supply list, customizable large and small group lessons, an interactive Bible story, application activities, Reflect & Respond time, small group discussion and Bible memory, a GO! Home Guide for parents, plus graphics, illustrations and tech instructions.

What ages is GO! for?

Littles is for babies, toddlers and 2-year-olds. Preschool serves ages 3 – 5. Elementary serves Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Can I buy just one or a few units?

Yes! You can buy just one or a few units and use them however you like.

Can churches start anytime?

Yes. “Big Bible Story” reviews help everyone catch up with the overall sequence.

Are Christmas and Easter lessons lined up?

Yes. The scope and sequence follows the Christian calendar, so holiday lessons land on the holidays.

Do lessons need special or expensive supplies?

No. Each lesson’s supply list uses affordable, easy-to-find materials.

What formats are the files?

Everything is digital. Lessons are Word files, and media files are JPGs, PDFs, MP3s and MP4s.

What if our team is small or new to children’s ministry?

No problem! Step-by-step scripts show leaders exactly what to say and do, and the teaching videos can lead parts of the lesson.

Why don’t preschool and elementary lessons line up week-to-week?

Each age group learns best with lessons built for its age and attention span. Both follow the same overall scope and sequence, but the weekly lessons don’t match exactly. To read more, see this blog post.
