What Is It?
We Believe Workshop is rotational-style workshop curriculum from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Congregational Ministries Publishing and educators and pastors using the workshop model developed a six-year Scope & Sequence based on the quarterly materials for We Believe, preschool through grade 5. Using this solid foundation, each workshop and unit is written especially for We Believe Workshop by a team of experienced educators and pastors. Each unit has a “Leader to Leader” section containing biblical background, theological connections, and educational emphases for the leaders, and seven workshops with session plans and resource pages.
Workshops in Each Unit
- Art
- Audiovisual
- Computer
- Drama/Storytelling
- Games and Puzzles
- Music and Worship
- Bonus (This workshop will vary depending on the content of the unit.)
Why Are We Doing This Now?
You spoke. We listened.
Congregations using the workshop model have been asking for PC(USA) curriculum designed just for this educational model. The Scope & Sequence is for those who have been using workshops and will be able to place new units in their current program and for congregations exploring and using this educational model for the first time.
