About us
Bible Navigators was first implemented in Palm Harbor,
Florida in 2006. It's success was so
encouraging that we wanted to share it with you free
of charge. We have found that equipping
teachers with both bible knowledge and a method for
sharing that knowledge greatly increases the joy of
teaching. Not only that, kids are more
motivated and energized to learn "thick" lessons
that would ordinarily be considered "over their
heads."
Can my child do this?
Kids are a lot smarter than many people give them
credit for. When the system was first implemented,
it was not uncommon to hear parents say, "I think
this might be too much for my child," only later to
hear, "I can't believe how much my child is
learning." In the first 6 months of the
program, a small class of of 15 kids (ages 7 to 11)
went from memorizing core bible theology to
simplistic biblical Greek (with many translating
short sentences!). The beauty of this program
is that no child has to "keep up" with the others.
If it's their turn during the trivia game and they
don't know the answer, the other kids can help them.
No one is left "feeling stupid."
Is this a tool for
you?
Even the most gifted teacher sometimes needs a
system that clicks with the audience they're working
with. If you teach 2nd through 6th grade, this
just might be a system for you. We do not presume
that this system will work for everyone. Not every
teacher will "click" with our style and not every
church will find it useful. On that note, make sure
you test this curriculum to see if you're
comfortable with using it for your kids.
Since the start of
this program, we have expanded to offering online
resources for teacher training. These courses
are free and used with permission from
www.biblicaltraining.org, a ministry we highly
encourage you to support. If the children's
curriculum does not work for you, the online
seminary courses may still help you master a deeper
knowledge of God's word which in turn will make you
a more effective teacher.
