Grow Curriculum & Strategy Reviews 

Love the support and quality of this program! Everything is well thought out. It's great for when you work at a small church and don't have other staff working in ministry with you. It is also a great resource for large churches that need help in managing large teams! Either way, it's an amazing resource for any church!!

We love this curriculum. It has solid teaching and is easy to use. The message builder makes it simple to adjust the lessons to fit our time allotment. There are lots of resources, too!

As a new member of the Methodist Church I would love to see faith symbols in the curriculum and more hands on learning. I have LOVED all of the extras. You sure make someone feel light they have a plan for the upcoming year!

This is my 3rd year purchasing a subscription for Grow Kids Curriculum. Every year gets better with content and media. I have recommended to multiple children's pastors and will continue to do so.

Love Grow - great resources, relevant content, easy to engage volunteers, theologically appropriate for our UMC ministry.

the best curriculum out there for youth ministry

Hands down we love the grow curriculum! Keep up the great work. Teaching children and students God's truths!

Love the Biblical content and it is SO easy to use.

I love the curriculum, the creativity and the organization. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars are the videos. They don't fit our context very well so we don't use them.

Love the curriculum. During the pandemic, I would like a few more ideas for virtual adaptations; especially adapting the games to a virtual capacity.

The small group curriculum is so simple and easy to use, yet it prompts great conversation! This is something I can easily hand off to volunteer small group leaders; they love it! Some curriculum is too overwhelming, but this requires minimal advance preparation. I would love to see more graphics to use on social media for each lesson.

Love the content provided, and the adaptability for different types of classrooms, age groups, and students (toddlers, preteens, special needs). ! Wish the elementary teaching videos were uploaded for the whole year already to help with planning, but other than that I'm happy with our purchase!

This is much more than a curriculum. It is a strategy for effective ministry. Not only does it give you a framework, but it gives you the tools needed to make that framework happen. There are so many things about the content that I love...whereas many curirculums are strong in Biblical content but lack relevance or fun OR some are very creative and fun but lack a strong Biblical foundation, GROW provides both extremely well.The lessons are fun and fresh and the "hacks" are great to make it adaptable to a variety of needs.

My other favorite things about GROW are the extras that come with it. I love the access to your "Stuff You Can Use", the fact that it is so easy to downlload and edit lesons (and that the formatting stays even when you edit the lesson! I can't tell you how happy that makes me!) the excellent custormer service and patience from Ali, and the organizational nerd in me LOVES the planning cards that came in their own nice, tidy box.

Thank you for your heart and your hard work!

Thank you for putting together an excellent product and the

I love the curriculum because it is very customizable. However, for younger children there are not images associated with the lessons and I feel like they need that. The good thing is that I can add images that relate to the urban youth. The bad side is that it's on me to find these images weekly. I appreciate the diversity of having an African American woman presenting the sign language Scriptures. However, I usually change the music to make it more urban. I'm not crazy about the video lessons. Maybe kids talking to kids would be better?

I love the Student material overall. I do add my own music and I like the one min. Sermons. Overall I love the marketing materials but would love a video on how to use things like the images and colors when preparing presentations. Thank you.

Grow Curriculum is an EXCELLENT resource! Everything is so organized and it takes away so much stress & saves a ton of time in planning our weekly youth group sessions!

I freaking love Grow and everything about it. I cannot recommend it enough to every KP or Family Pastor I talk to. Our kids love the teaching videos and I love the simplicity yet the depth of practical biblical messages and of course the easability/organization of the materials. Great work to everyone who has put this together.

I love the number and variety of activities to enhance the lessons. The teachers can choose those that fit their group the best. The scope and sequence is solid and the biblical content is trustworthy.

Grow is a lifesaver and has helped me out so much as a new youth pastor! It is such an amazing resource that any youth pastor at any level of experience could benefit from it. Some of the greatest minds come together to give you relevant teaching and great ideas for events. Totally worth every penny!

If you ever get rid of Carl then I'm canceling. Just kidding but seriously he is amazing and the Kids look forward to him every week.
