Detectives of Divinity: Curriculum Series

Detectives of Divinity is a series of digital curriculum for all ages. Based on the song Detectives of Divinity by Bryan Moyer Suderman (smalltallministries.com), the series of lessons guide participants as they investigate Old and New Testament stories, discovering clues of God’s presence in the scriptures and in themselves.

Loaded with crafts, games, reproducible pages, artwork, activities, and memory verses, these series are perfect for midweek classes, children’s clubs, and other faith formation settings. Two of the series also offer a stream of five lessons for preschool, children, youth, and another five lessons for adults. So, if a congregation wants all ages to study the same stories together, it’s all here.
