Part of a family of free Apostolic studies
- The Way: Disciple Edition — the thirty-session course for teens and adults this children’s edition follows, with its own Teacher Guide.
- The Hidden Word — the free KJV Scripture memory and Bible quizzing curriculum.
- Free Scripture Memory Cards — verse cards for the whole household.
Questions families ask
Is The Way of Jesus free?
Yes. Every part of it is free and open to everyone: the student books, the Parent & Teacher Guide, the memory cards and all thirty lesson packs. There is no account and no email address to give.
What ages is it for?
It is a children's study taught with an adult. Younger children can listen, point, draw or dictate; older children read and compare passages for themselves. The Parent & Teacher Guide describes how one lesson serves ages six to sixteen at different depths.
Which Bible translation does it use?
The King James Version. Every quotation names its reference, and the study teaches children to read each passage in their own Bible.
What does it teach?
Thirty lessons in six stages: who God is, who Jesus is, the new birth — repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and receiving the Holy Ghost — and then a child's daily walk: prayer, Scripture, the Spirit's fruit, holiness, wise media choices and courage. It teaches traditional Apostolic Oneness Pentecostal doctrine openly and explains its biblical reasons.
How is it different from The Way: Disciple Edition?
It is the children's counterpart of that thirty-session course for teens and adults. The sequence of truths is the same; the reading level, activities and pacing are made for children, and matching adult guidance stands beside every lesson. Families can run both editions side by side. The Disciple Edition is at https://faithschooling.com/apostolic-academy/study-guides/the-way/disciple-edition/.
Can a Sunday school class use it?
Yes. It prints on US Letter paper, each lesson pack holds the student pages with the matching adult guidance, and the Parent & Teacher Guide was written for a parent, a Sunday school teacher or a home Bible study leader.
