Each week, the Discovery Guide takes kids on an expedition to make life-changing discoveries about the Bible and their relationship with Jesus. Colorful, engaging characters lead kids through expeditions. Kids will connect with these characters and want to come back to follow their exploits and see what happens next.

Each student gets one handout for each lesson. Included in the student’s Discovery Guide are a couple of take-home activities. Kids are more likely to engage with an activity at home once they’ve already invested themselves in a story during class.

Kids are curious. They want to figure it out, try it out, solve the problem, and uncover the mystery. They want to explore, learn, and discover things for themselves. Kids are more likely to remember and embrace a discovery they view as their own. Eureka! provides opportunities for faith discoveries to happen every week. Follow the curiosity of your kids and see where God leads!

In this quarter your kids will explore seven New Testament stories that take them from the beginning of Jesus’s life through his childhood and the start of his ministry. Kids will explore God’s promises to Zechariah and Elizabeth (on the birth of John the Baptist) and Mary (on the birth of Jesus). Kids will celebrate with the shepherds as they visited Jesus, and they will discover how God kept Jesus and the wise men safe from King Herod’s evil plan. Kids will then help Mary and Joseph find Jesus when He was left behind in Jerusalem. They will find out who the first disciples were that followed Jesus and how they handled being in a terrible storm. Finally, kids will hear Jesus’s teaching on generosity and the value of giving cheerfully. Through these stories, kids will uncover God’s faithfulness and love. Your kids will continue to practice the hermeneutic (Bible study strategy) that is at the core of Eureka! They will learn how to read the Bible and discover God’s love.
