But if you save a child, you save a life."
Praise for the Growing with God curriculum: We have been using Growing with God for the past eight years in our 10-11 year old classroom. The mission of this classroom is to firmly establish students in apostolic doctrine before entering the youth group. This curriculum is perfect and has had tremendous results. For the first time in the history of our church, we saw students go through the curriculum, enter the youth group established in doctrine, and graduate to the college and career age established in ministry. We didn't lose any along the way and believe that this curriculum had a large impact. Growing with God is sound in pedagogy and doctrine and is a necessity for any ministry that works with children. - Annette Benson Duvall, Educator
