Hillsong Kids BIG is a large group/small group
Children’s Ministry Curriculum for children 5 to 12
years of age. It has been a magnificent journey
of developing a children’s ministry curriculum that
would ultimately lead children to grow up and
boldly and unashamedly proclaim the name of
Jesus Christ! Whether your children’s ministry is
10, 100 or 1000, Hillsong Kids BIG will assist you in
providing a fun and dynamic children’s ministry
experience. The goal is to present Christ-centred,
Bible-based teaching that is relevant to practical
living to empower children to lead and impact in
every sphere of life.
