Though there are initial cost in accomplishing the physical changes of the rooms and hallways, money spent on expensive commercial curriculum is saved and used more creatively. Students gain higher retention of key Bible stories. The traditional curriculum approach presents a different bible story each and every week, often resulting in weak comprehension and confusion of the biblical story. Teachers learn to teach more effectively. Working on the same lesson form week to week makes the trial and error experience valuable instead of merely frustrating.
Workshops enable effective coverage of important teaching elements.
In a workshop approach, each of these areas are given full coverage, enabling students to better comprehend, retain, and integrate the stories of the Bible. The Word does not change, but how we convey it can and should vary. We are not attempting to teach a new Gospel, or water down God's word. Mediums make the most of the opportunity to keep students interest while teaching them about Jesus Christ. Each workshop is located in its own classroom and exhibits its own character and atmosphere to aid in the learning process.
