opportunity to deposit truth from God’s Word – and establishing a scope & sequence for each milestone for our
children along the way in areas like: Bible story content, Memory Verses, Books of the Bible, Theology,
Apologetics, Life Application, Identity, Morality. An effective scope and sequence builds upon the milestones
of the previous year. In addition, these milestones are intentionally repetitive to penetrate the hearts and
minds for more permanence.
