Before you commit a year, spend an hour.
An informational cohort is exactly what it sounds like: a small group, one hour, no cost, and nothing to buy at the end. You come to find out whether this fits your church before you build a year around it.
Who it is for
- Christian education directors weighing this against what you use now
- Volunteers who have said yes and do not yet feel ready
- People who have not said yes because they think teaching means knowing more than everyone in the room
- Anyone teaching a combined-age class, which is most of the churches we hear from
The hour
| Minutes | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–10 | The arithmetic nobody says out loud: four age bands across fifty-two Sundays is 208 teaching slots, and most churches try to fill them with three or four people. That is the problem these lessons were built to solve. |
| 10–30 | One lesson, worked live, front to back. Not described — taught, with you as the class. |
| 30–45 | How a lesson is built: the four movements, the twelve frames, and why the same Scripture works at K–2 and 9–12 in the same room on the same morning. |
| 45–60 | Your questions, and an honest answer to the one everybody asks — what happens when a child asks something the volunteer cannot answer. |
What you leave with
- Every one of the 52 lessons, free, whether or not you use them
- The next four Sundays planned, if you want them planned
- A straight answer about whether this suits your congregation — including if it does not
What this is not
It is not a sales call, and there is no paid tier waiting behind it. The lessons are free and stay free. If at the end you decide this is not for your church, that is a useful hour for both of us and nobody will chase you.
And if you want more than an hour
The ninety-minute volunteer training goes further — your leaders tell their own stories, then the volunteers tell theirs, then the frames get pointed at Scripture. It runs for your church, in person or online. Mention it when you register.
Request a place — choose your country
Cohorts run by country so the hour lands at a sane local time. Register your interest and, when eight to twelve leaders in your country have raised a hand, the four Saturdays are set with the group — you get first refusal on a place. No payment, no card, nothing to cancel.
United States
US Saturdays are set once enough leaders raise a hand — join the updates list and hear first.
