I am very excited to announce that our 2021-2022 faith formation resources are ready to purchase! Many of the fall lessons (or the equivalent for that product) are available for immediate download. You can see our Release Dates page for the latest information on when various product-quarters will be available. If you purchase a product before all its quarters are available, you will receive an email when each quarter is available to download.

Make sure you read to the end of this blog post to find a limited-time discount!

Who Are We?

If you are new to our products and company, you can learn more about who we are and how we approach faith formation on the webpages: Who We Are (including our theological perspective), What Is Faith Formation?, and What Is Cross+Gen Ministry?

Note: We are considering an option to allow congregations to purchase a subscription to a pair of products to give you the flexibility to use either product for a particular lesson (for example, you can download the PK-2nd (NL) lesson one week and the home-based family curriculum lesson the next week). However, we have yet to figure out the logistics of how to do this and the pricing. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know using our Contact Us form, including your suggestions on what you would be looking for. This might involve a major change to our website; if so, then it would only be worthwhile if a large number of customers request it.
