Teaching Children

To Think Critically & Defend Their Faith

Welcome to our website! DTBC is breaking ground with a distinctively different alternative to children’s Bible curriculum. Whether you are looking for resources for Sunday School, materials for teaching children the Bible, affordable Christian education curriculum, or children’s ministry materials, we hope you’ll check us out.

Our mission is to develop Godly children who demonstrate through critical thought:

  • what they believe
  • why they believe it
  • what distinguishes their beliefs from other systems
  • how to withstand persecution and answer cultural shifts
  • how to lovingly draw others into a relationship with Jesus

Our curriculum is free for everyone, Always!

The Critical Thinking Shift

The emphasis of DTBC curriculum is not what children know, but what they are able to demonstrate. This requires a complete shift in how we teach.

Aside from evolving into high-tech productions, children’s Bible curricula have changed little over the last 75 years. Having all the “bells and whistles” is certainly not a bad thing, but this is where the evolution generally stops. How much emphasis is placed on critical thinking or defending one’s faith within the current spiritually confusing, and often antagonistic, culture? We believe that, in many cases, although the culture has changed dramatically, the equipping has not.

What makes DTBC unique?

DTBC is different in its approach, emphasis, mission, and cost. Every lesson is founded upon an overarching concept, such as “There is only one true and real God,” designed to combat cultural sway. We are authentic in our approach that there are sacrifices associated with serving the one true God, but so worth everything—up to and including persecution and perhaps the giving of our lives.
