What: Workshop curriculum from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Using a six-year Scope and Sequence developed by a team of PC(USA) educators, pastors, and staff, and written by Presbyterians, for Presbyterians, Congregational Ministries Publishing presents We Believe Workshop.

Why: You spoke. We listened.
Congregations using the workshop model have been growing in number and voice asking for Presbyterian curriculum designed specifically for this model of education. The Scope and Sequence is recommended for those who have been using workshops and will be able to place new units in their current program, as well as congregations exploring and using this educational model for the first time.

Who are the writers?
The writers are skilled curriculum writers who are educators and pastors with a variety of experience with workshop curriculum.

How is We Believe Workshop like the We Believe quarterly materials?
The same yearly themes and about half of the Bible stories for the units covered each year are shared by both curricula. We Believe Workshop also uses the Assemble, Bible Study, Claim, Depart, and Evaluate format of the quarterly materials.
