Kingdom Stewards · Ages 5 to 8

Children who learn stewardship principles first, live with purpose, and serve God, their families, and their communities with joy, knowing from Whom all things come and to Whom all glory goes.

The Five Jars

Children notice how we handle what God provides: coins in a hand, choices at the store, a gift placed in the offering. These lessons turn those everyday moments into conversations about honoring God with all He entrusts to us.

A 12-week, Bible-based course for families with children ages 5 to 8. Five jars, real coins, and lessons you share together.

12 weeks. One core lesson a week, about 30 minutes (about 6 hours in all), plus two optional activities when you have time.

Over the next 12 weeks, your child will learn to honor God first, serve others, sow for their future, and live by the laws of seedtime and harvest. Lesson by lesson, the foundation is laid, and what they learn becomes second nature, a new and natural way of living. The Kingdom principles you teach them will carry them, preparing them to be faithful in the little things, then faithful in all things, and ready to pass the same teaching on to the next generation.

What your child learns

  • God owns everything, and we are His stewards
  • Work is good, and income comes from serving others
  • Each dollar has a purpose: give, care, prepare, save and plant
  • Wants become goals worth waiting for

What it grows into

  • Your child divides every dollar with purpose
  • Giving to God comes first, with a glad heart
  • Patience and planning become second nature
  • A habit takes root while they are young
