The Forum's Partner, Incredible Islands, Now Offers a Full Curriculum for Churches
Children's Ministry Curriculum is Now Provided to Churches to Help Engage Children with God's Word
Pompano Beach, Florida, January 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The Forum’s partner, Incredible Islands, is now offering churches a full curriculum for children to participate with God’s word in church, at home and on the go.
Incredible Islands is a project that was developed by Compedia – a leading developer in children’s software. It is innovated by OneHope, and is sold in the U.S. by My Healthy Church.
"We are really excited for this new offering that will increase children's ability to participate in learning more about their faith."
Nicole Oliva, Sales and Marketing Manager
Incredible Islands’ curriculum provides churches with a Gospel-centered, practical weekly Bible lesson for their Sunday services or Sunday School. The curriculum also provides an online atmosphere where children can experience over 100 spiritual formation tools, games and activities.
The weekend live lessons, which will be used in the church services, are highly participatory, engaging the children to take an active part in their learning. Each lesson has its foundation in a Bible Story; provides practical ways to apply the story to the lives of the children today; and, connects each story to Gospel. The application portion of the lesson is active and fun, reinforcing the learning through games and co-creative activities.
The online world extends the weekend teaching with Bible Stories, games that help you build prayers, memorize verses, and application activities that children can accomplish “offline” in the real world. Children can view a Gospel presentation and then click a button that sends an email to their pastor and their parents when they want to know more about God’s love for them. There is even a way for children to send safe, encouraging messages to other members of their church through the linko systems.
“A church that uses the Incredible Islands curriculum will be able to minister to children in ways that weren’t before possible, extending the reach of the children’s ministry without significantly increasing their workload,” said Jason Tilley, Director of Incredible Islands.
“We are really excited for this new offering that will increase children’s ability to participate in learning more about their faith,” said Nicole Oliva, Sales and Marketing Manager of The Forum. “Incredible Islands even has a mobile application which allows children to engage in Bible Stories, prayer building, scripture memorization, giving, and offline applications from their tablet or mobile device.”
For children’s ministry leaders, we have a messenger app that allows them to record and send up to five one-minute messages to all the children in their ministry. We also have a dashboard that allows the children’s ministry leaders to customize some aspects of their children’s experience in the online world. We also have active reporting that allows children’s ministry leaders to track the progress of their children’s spiritual formation activities.
