Story-based Bible curriculum.
Built for wherever you teach.
GBBS is a Bible teaching program that takes kids from Creation to the early church in one year. Designed for both families and church classrooms — same rich content, built for your setting.
Bye, bye boring Bible lessons!
The Great Big Bible Story Digital Curriculum Starter is the simplest way to begin teaching your kids the whole story of the Bible at home. Built around our 32-week scope and sequence, it gives you a clear roadmap for the entire year — eight units, the key stories for each one, memory verses, and Bible references so you can read straight from whichever Bible your family loves.
This is the foundation. You bring the Bible, we bring the framework.
The Starter is the full Great Big Bible Story — same 8 units, same 32 lessons, same scope and sequence — in a print-at-home format.
You'll get the Teaching Guide, the complete printable library (activity pages, coloring pages, and more), Memory Verse songs, and everything you need to lead your family through the whole Biblical narrative from Creation to the City of God.
What’s not included: The physical Teaching Guide with 32 open-and-go lessons, printed activity books, and refrigerator magnets aren't included — but if you don’t need all of the print materials and you're ready to get started, this is the fastest (and most affordable) way in!
Built Around Your School Year
GBBS follows a traditional school calendar, running from fall through spring alongside your other subjects. There’s no required start date, but beginning the first week of September lets the story unfold naturally, Jesus’s birth arrives with Christmas, and the resurrection lands around Easter.
Suggested age range: Grades K–5, with built-in extension activities for older kids

Here’s what real families are saying:
So great to have fun, Christian content I can use in my home to teach my son about God. He can be entertained while still growing and learning.
Ryan in Tulsa, OK
I love that it’s calm and relaxing, good for the kiddos. Reminds me of my childhood before kids content got super overstimulating.
Kassidy in Laramie, WY
I’ve been looking for some resources to use with my kids at home! This is extremely helpful. I am going to start using it during our daily Jesus time. I can't wait to incorporate this, really well laid out and easy to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
GBBS is built for kids ages 2-12, with the sweet spot landing squarely in the PreK through 2nd grade range -- though there's plenty for older kids too. For younger children, the content is intentionally rich in the things that work best at that age: beautifully illustrated stories, catchy songs with motions, hands-on crafts, and simple activities that don't require reading or sitting still for long. Nothing is too big or too complicated for a four-year-old to engage with meaningfully. For older kids in the 2nd through 5th grade range, every lesson includes deeper engagement -- scripture lookups, cross-referencing, simple apologetic-style questions, and creative challenges that respect their growing capacity without making them feel like they're doing the same thing as the little kids. One lesson, every age, nobody left out.
-
It depends on where you're teaching. At home, the core Story Time and conversation runs about 15 minutes -- then songs, games, and activities spread naturally throughout the week in small moments. In a classroom setting, a teacher can easily build a full 30-45 minute session by layering in the theme song, a read-along storybook time, the lesson discussion, a craft or game, and the memory verse song. The content is designed to flex—a tight 15-minute anchor lesson that can expand into a full class period depending on what you need that week.
-
Both, depending on how you use it.
As a complete program, GBBS gives you everything you need for one full school year—32 weeks, Creation to the early church. Classroom bundles include lesson materials, slides, media, and teacher guidance. It's a full plate, focused entirely on one thing: teaching kids the whole Bible story in sequence.
As a supplement, individual units and standalone story packs make it easy to drop GBBS content into an existing program—a seasonal series, extra midweek services, or a single lesson when you need one. Use what fits. Leave what doesn't!
-
A lot of children's ministry content is built around topical series—a four-week series on kindness, a series on courage, a series tied to the church calendar. Nothing wrong with that approach, but it leaves a significant gap: most kids never develop a foundational understanding of what the Bible actually is, how it holds together, or where they fit in the story it tells.
GBBS takes a different approach entirely. Every unit is a stepping stone in one continuous narrative: In the Beginning leads to God's Chosen People, which leads to Heroes and Kings, which leads to The Promised One, and so on all the way through to Spread the Word. Each unit builds on the last. By the end of the year kids don't just know individual stories—they understand the whole plot, how every story connects, and that it's all one great big story about Jesus. That's Biblical literacy. And it's increasingly rare.
-
The GBBS music isn't background content—it's one of the most powerful teaching tools in the whole program. The full album follows the exact narrative arc of the curriculum, from Days of Creation all the way through the early church. A kid who listens to this album start to finish is essentially hearing the whole Bible story in song—in sequence, in order, connected from beginning to end.
The Musical Memory Verse songs take it further. Each unit's memory verse is set to an original song with motions, available on Spotify and YouTube. Most kids have the verse memorized within two weeks without ever sitting down to study it. Classical Conversations families will recognize this immediately—t's the same principle, applied to Scripture.
-
Every lesson is rooted directly in Scripture and built on the conviction that the Bible tells one unified story—Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration—and that every story in it points to Jesus. We hold to the authority of Scripture and the historic Christian faith.
