Is the content geared toward a specific denomination?
Our material is not specific to a denomination allowing us to serve a broad spectrum of congregations such as Methodist, Lutherans, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Bible, Catholic, Baptist, Nazarene, and More! >
I see there are two purchase options. Which one should I choose?
The group license permits churches to duplicate, and the individual license is for families.
I see there is a suggested Reading Plan. Is it dated?
No. We choose an undated reading plan because every family's schedule is different. They can choose to work through Matthew as it best fits their schedule. Is it dinner each night? Weekends?
Is Matthew for children or teenagers?
Both! This material is for all ages.
For teens, the journal prompts encourage independent reading. For children, parents can use the prompts as conversation starters.
