Not Just for Sunday School Teachers

The Levels of Biblical Learning (LOBL) is a simple but important ministry tool developed by experts to provide parents and teachers with visible milestones as you guide kids in their spiritual growth. The Levels of Biblical Learning gives a coordinated approach from birth through preteens by using 10 concept areas — God, Jesus, the Bible, Creation, Family, Self, Church, Community & World, Holy Spirit, and Salvation.
Let me just give you an example. This Christmas, you can talk about Jesus' birth with your child in an age-appropriate way. You can start when your child is a baby ... laying the foundational concepts and then building on them as your child grows.Babies to 2s
