I love Wonder Ink because it is biblically based more than virtue based.

Megan, Foundation Church

Finding the right curriculum for your ministry is no easy task. As leaders, we desire to equip our children with Scripture, Bible tools, life application, helpful resources, and more as they begin to build a relationship with Jesus.

We care about the theology, how our volunteers and parents will respond, the activities, content, adaptability, and so on. While we can list out all that Wonder Ink offers, we want you to hear it from ministry leaders like you who are utilizing the curriculum.

Discover how Wonder Ink can help the children in your church know exactly who God is and who they are in Him.

Over 70 Children’s Ministry Leaders Share Why They Love Wonder Ink Children’s Curriculum

Intentionality

“Best of all, the theology in the lessons is on point. You always point them back to God and keep the focus on what God is doing in the story.”
– Angela, Restoration Anglican Church

“Our favorite part about Wonder Ink are the weekly rhythms that keep all the kids connected to Jesus and excited about God’s Word.”
– Lauren, Grace Church of the Nazarene

“So very thankful for Wonder Ink Curriculum! As I (as a Director) continue to grow, adapt with the ever-changing needs of our Kids Ministry and the kids we serve, I love that we use a curriculum that is intentional do the same! We are finding that there is enough consistency in each lesson to help those more apprehensive to join a classroom, but plenty of other ways to keep it fresh, interesting, and inclusive for those who need more variety, have lots of energy, need to have a safe place to be loved as they are, etc. Because of these things mentioned above, we are (by the grace of God) able to weekly point kids to “God’s Big Story” of the Bible, invite them into relationship with HIm, explain the Trinity through the intentional Scope & Sequence of lessons, while making it fun to learn, and including all types of learners!”
– Jacquie, Resurrection Church

“It’s well organized, a lot of content to go from. I like the connection to Jesus, having response time and small group discussion. Volunteers like it… Kids declare truth about God and who they are in them, love that! It focuses on who God is and has depth.”

“Wonder Ink’s early childhood and elementary curriculum was my choice for our K-5 grade ministry because of how the lessons engage many styles of learning, including curiosity object lessons that are a fun way to get the kids engaged and ready for the Bible Story. We love the options of being able to teach the lesson live or show the lesson video. My favorite part of the curriculum is how there is a section devoted to having the kids open up the Bible to the passage that the Bible story is from. I have over 75 kids per service and almost all of them get into this special time of reading God’s Word together.”
– Anna, Engedi Church

“I love this curriculum. I love the emphasis on wonder and exploration. I feel like I’m not just spoon feeding the kids Bible stories but helping them experience God’s Word.”

“I love the simplicity and focus of Wonder Ink lessons. I feel as though we’re able to key in on the main point of stories and point kids back to Jesus, all through the Bible!”
– Bethany, Vineyard Cincinnati Church

– Heidi, Journey Church Int

“The thing I love most about Wonder Ink is the way each lesson leads to impactful conversations – our children are learning how to connect what they are learning to their daily life.”
– Lisa, In the Light Ministries

Platform

“I really like this curriculum and the online platform. I find it is better organized and easier to customize than other online curriculum platforms that are out there which are very overwhelming. I love the graphics and the inclusion of social media resources, as well. Love the focus on identity and feel this is very important, especially for children in our world today. I also really love how you have the curriculum broken down into different sections (curiosity, belief, faith, identity).”

“It has been a blessing to me, I am new at this job and it has helped keep me organized and on track, so I am not having to think about what is coming up next.”
– Amanda, Cedarhome Baptist Church

“For someone who has used [other curriculum lines], I am very happy with the Wonder Ink resource! We are currently using it for our midweek programming and our Sunday school hours. The layout on the dashboard is user friendly – love the “look” of it as well! Content is heavy on the Bible and adds in the perfect mix of fun and activities as well! Grateful for the resource!”
– Lezlie, Parkview Christian Church

We love teaching with Wonder Ink and our kids are loving it in Bible Classes!

This comprehensive approach allows us to plan effectively for the future.”

– Lynn, Vineyard Hopkinton Church

– Donna, Faith Church

“I love this curriculum more than most! The thing I love most about it is that, the kids can open their Bibles and actually read the Bible story together and then have it broken down on their level, along with a bible story video! We love the declarations and blessings in the lesson too! It’s been very easy to use for leaders as well!”
– Meagan, New River Franklin

It has helped us as we’ve had to streamline due to personnel loss. There’s a lot to offer … We use the volunteer letters, the coloring sheets, videos, 75 minute lessons for elementary and EC each week. I love that the videos are short (less than 10 minutes) so they aren’t the focus. There isn’t ton of “stuff” supplies. Most we have on hand or can reuse.”
– Lizz, New Hope Church

– Sam, Refresh Church

“I enjoy the depth of the teaching for our kids. It incorporates the trinity into each lesson which I find important in forming Biblical understanding.”

I am not afraid that the Word might be mishandled or that the wording my be too fluffy to be spiritually convicting.”
– Beth, Mountainview Community Church

“We love the focus on biblical truths instead of focusing on building character traits.”

It’s a mini gospel lesson every week! We also love how easy it is to prep; we buy very few supplies now, and yet there are so many options for activities each week. Our leaders have expressed how much they appreciate the weekly devotions section and how much they enjoy seeing kids open their bibles each week to read directly from the Bible. It’s an all-around great option for churches of all sizes, and activities are easily adaptable depending on your number of kids.”
– Mary, Frankenmuth Bible Church
