We believe our kids are ready and eager to eat the meat of the Word. (See “What to Teach Children and Why?”) How old is a baby in the natural when he stops drinking nothing but milk, but goes on to solid food? It’s generally within the first year of life, yet somehow in the Church, we have decided kids are only capable of handling basic Bible stories over and over again until they are twelve years old.
Secondly, our curriculums deliberately address the basic foundational doctrines of the Bible, what we believe is the “meat” of God’s Word, rather than keeping children on the “milk” (Bible stories) for the first twelve years of their lives. Should We Feed Our Kids Spiritual Milk or Meat? We believe we are filling a very important void in the world of church curriculum ideas. While there may be merit to this thinking in some cases, we believe there are parents and church leaders who are hungry for material that goes beyond the basic Bible stories and teaches children solid Bible doctrine. This is because they have become more seeker sensitive, meaning they do not want to scare new believers or non-believers from their services through the unfamiliar moving of the gifts of the Spirit. In our experience, even denominations who are either Pentecostal or Charismatic hesitate to approach these subjects in many cases.
(For instance, do we dunk or do we sprinkle?) Even basic doctrines like water baptism are too divisive for most of them, because of the wide range of beliefs about each subject. The majority of curriculum publishers are looking to serve the broader Evangelical community, where these topics are too controversial. those who believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, hearing God’s voice, healing, that the gifts of the Spirit are for today, and who believe in walking in the supernatural lifestyle of God found in Scripture. One of the most important things that make KIMI Curriculums different from others is that our materials are written specifically for Spirit-filled churches, i.e. Kids in Ministry International KIMI Curriculums Are Different KIMI Curriculums Are Different
