You can access and plan Lifeway curriculum materials by choosing between print or digital formats, utilizing online planning tools like Ministry Grid, and following official scope and sequence documents.
Accessing Materials
Print Formats: Purchase physical quarterly print bundles, leader guides, or group boxes directly through the Lifeway Church Ordering portal.
Digital Formats: Buy adult and student digital resources a la carte online, or access kids' digital curriculum via monthly subscriptions. Annual digital subscriptions and media files for ongoing studies (like The Gospel Project) are managed through the Ministry Grid platform.
Guidance & Sampling: Take the interactive Lifeway Curriculum Compass quiz to get tailored recommendations and download free sample sessions before buying.
Planning Your Curriculum
Scope and Sequence: Review official scope and sequence outlines available on the Lifeway Curriculum Help Center to track upcoming study themes, units, and multi-year chronological plans.
Staggered Releases & Cycles: Note that ongoing curricula use staggered quarterly releases. Because older volumes go out of print as cycles progress, plan to transition immediately to the next consecutive volume to avoid curriculum gaps.
Leader Extras: Access free weekly online teaching plans and leader supplements via individual curriculum blogs.
