"Be nice." "God loves you." These are the primary lessons taught by most of the children's curriculum out there. And while those are good lessons, isn't it time to do more? At TruthQuest, we believe it is. That's why we're pleased to bring you Truthopolis, our modular, flexible, and deeply Biblical approach to children's ministry. In an age where children are surrounded by bad influences, worldly philosophy and false teaching, it is vital that we teach our children discernment from God's Word. Our goal with Truthopolis to is train children to think critically about the world around them, weighing all things against the standard of God's unchanging Word. By teaching about the flaws in man's "wisdom" and the perfect nature of God's wisdom, children learn how to defend themselves against ungodliness and experience real growth in Christ. Truthopolis isn't afraid to tackle issues that children face today, showing them that God's Word has the solution for every one of them. Fun, fresh, and fruitful, Truthopolis takes a modern approach to ministry while holding firm to the age-old Truth of God's Word. Welcome to Truthopolis!

Each module is independent of the others so that they may be used separately. But, our modules are ALSO designed to work together. As a result, you can implement as much or as little of Truthopolis as you like. Simply use the modules you want, and disregard the modules you don't want! Some of the Truthopolis modules are described below, and more modules will be on the way in the future! Lessons Module This module includes "Book Smarts" Bible Story Lessons, "Street Smarts" Bible Application Lessons, Scripture Sports Bible memory games, Take-Home Worksheets for children, and take-home Family Study sheets for parents. All these materials are provided at four teaching levels. Level 1 is for preschoolers. Level 2 is for Kindergarten and 1st grade. Level 3 is for 2nd and 3rd grade, and Level 4 is for 4th grade through pre-teens. Click here for more information about the Lessons Module. Drama Module This module includes Puppet Skits designed for children from preschool up through 3rd grade, and Pre-Teen skits for children from 4th grade up into their pre-teens. The drama skits feature one of four live characters, each of whom teaches children from a different perspective. The puppet skits feature these characters interacting with two or three puppet characters (there are seven puppet characters in all, for which puppets are not included). In the Pre-Teen skits, the live characters interact with characters who are performed by the kids themselves, allowing the pre-teens to become involved in the ministry.

In the future, it will become a standalone module. Deluxe Module This module includes all of the above modules and more.

A praise and worship time can easily be added for a complete worship experience for Sunday mornings or midweek. Click here for more information about the Deluxe Module.
