When it comes to culture and faith, African American heritage is especially important. Because of this, Echoes curriculum was created to help you share these connections, as you dive into God’s Word and celebrate black history and faith simultaneously.

With relatable lessons and volunteer-friendly options within the curriculum, leaders can be sure to share the truth of the gospel with children, teens, and adults. And while each age level is age-appropriate, each lesson is also connected thematically to all the other age levels so that generations can grow in faith together.

Black children need to understand that they are a part of God’s Story.

In the articles below, you can discover the importance of celebrating African American faith with children.

From being made in the image of God, to understanding faith from a cultural context, children need to see themselves as God sees them. Help every child discover God’s plan for their lives and know without a doubt that He created them and loves them beyond their wildest imagination.
