It provides a resource for many Christian families as they look for alternatives to the public school system. In 1947 the messengers of the churches voted to produce quarterlies by and for American Baptist Association churches. This series is still used today in the Junior High, Young People and Adult quarterlies. In 1988 the messengers took another major step in publications when it voted to prepare a complete youth ministry curriculum. In 1989 the pilot program for Discovery was begun for teens and in 1991 Discovery Bible Clubs were formed for children.
Discovery continues to provide a well rounded youth program for all ages.
In 1992 the preschool and elementary Sunday School curriculum began taking on a new look. It was totally reformatted to provide quality quarterlies, complete teacher's guides and was placed on a two-year cycle. This restructuring has been completed at these levels. Now the Junior High, Young People and Adult curriculum is being evaluated for improvement. The Baptist Training Course curriculum is still offered to provide extended Bible study guides for times such as Sunday evenings.
