The Temple's Treasury · Ages 9 to 12

Preteens who govern the temple God gave them with wisdom, even when no one is watching.

Temple Keepers

Between 9 and 12, children begin choosing their own food, sleep and screens. This course teaches them to steward their bodies as God's temple and to make wise choices that serve them for life.

A 12-week, Bible-based course for families with children ages 9 to 12. Real food labels, the Body Dashboard, sleep, movement, a peaceful mind, habits, service and leading others.

12 weeks. One core lesson a week, about 40 minutes (about 8 hours in all), plus two optional activities when you have time.

Let us lay the proper foundation early. Counting the cost and remaining diligent in the privilege and responsibility God has placed in our hands. What we build into them now, they will carry with them and pass on to their children.
