How Can I Access and Use Christmas Lessons in The Gospel Project Curriculum?
The Gospel Project curriculum offers Christmas lessons as part of its regular and standalone resources. These lessons are designed to provide flexibility for groups on or off the standard curriculum cycle. Below is a comprehensive guide to accessing and utilizing these resources.
Overview of Christmas Lessons
Christmas lessons are included in specific volumes of The Gospel Project curriculum: Volumes 2, 6, and 10. These lessons are integrated into the Winter quarter, following the Fall quarter.
A single bonus Christmas lesson is included with your subscription and becomes available approximately 8 weeks before its scheduled date.
For 2026, the free Christmas lesson will be released early in October.
Accessing Christmas Lessons
Digital Curriculum: The Christmas lesson is included in your digital curriculum and can be accessed around late October or early November.
Ministry Grid: Locate the Christmas Bonus Session in the Advance Planning section.
Gospel Project Website: Free Christmas lessons are also available on the official Gospel Project website.
Options for Off-Cycle Groups and Additional Weeks
If your group is off-cycle, standalone Christmas lessons are available as supplemental resources. These can be used independently of the regular curriculum.
For extended content, Lifeway offers a Christmas kit with five standalone lessons, ideal for covering multiple weeks in December. Note that these lessons are independent of the regular curriculum cycles.
Subscription Inclusions vs. Additional Purchases
The single bonus Christmas lesson is included with your subscription at no additional cost.
For a full Advent series or extended multi-week resources, additional purchases may be required.
Additional Details
The standalone Christmas lesson is typically a one-week resource and does not include a PowerPoint file, though a template may be provided.
Older Christmas lessons from previous years can also be used to supplement your schedule.
