We focus on one key monthly theme and Bible verse. Lessons are designed around a large group/small group model (check Tiers for details). Each week, there are 7 key segments within each lesson that help unpack the monthly theme. (more details in Training Tab for you). Small groups are age-appropriate in design to engage, provoke discovery, and conversation. Each document is completely customizable to align with your ministry’s unique model, voice, and context.

Orange Kids lessons are written to be presented live. If you prefer a video presentation of the lessons (or if you program multiple service times), we highly recommend the Media Package. This is an additional purchase to the license that adds creative value and resources to help you engage kids using several different forms of media (video countdown, transition music, customizable art files, pre-built presentation files, etc). The lesson teaching videos are high-quality, age appropriate, and engaging to help clearly present the biblical concept.

Many of our partners program multiple children’s ministry services. We can assist you in strategizing and implementing Orange curriculum in any context. Your Orange Specialist will help you unpack great ideas for all your ministry programming. (findmyos.com)

Yes! We include adaptations and activity ideas for children with special needs each week.

A monthly theme song is also included with the curriculum license. Additional suggested songs are found within the lessons each week. Furthermore, we offer a variety of music videos and performance tracks. You can purchase suggested songs in the curriculum here or utilize our monthly Spotify playlist to engage families all month long.

Each year, we release a new worship album for both Preschool and Elementary ages.

To elevate important topics of conversation, families can download the Parent Cue App and get you monthly topics on faith and character so you can incorporate big ideas into everyday life.

To support what is taught at church, the app is updated with weekly Bible story videos, memory verses, devotional experiences, and more based on the age of the child.

Orange is a strategy that combines the strength of two—yellow and red—to create the brilliance of another, Orange. By combining the critical influences of the light of the church (yellow) and the love of the family (red), the Orange strategy synchronizes efforts and shows a generation who God is, more effectively than either could alone.

We say often that Orange is a strategy—not a curriculum (of course—we do create comprehensive and innovative weekly curriculum). The strategy behind everything we do is simple: Influence leaders and parents to create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others. Read more about the 5 timeless values of Orange Strategy.

The Orange Strategy aligns leaders and parents to create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others. Every curriculum is always relevant, biblical, engaging and experiential. Because Orange partners with 80+ denominations, you won’t find a denominational affiliation. Instead, the curriculum is customizable so you can adapt it to fit your unique denomination, context, and church. Plus—we offer no-cost personalized support through our Orange Specialists to help you use each powerful resource in your ministry. To learn more what we believe, read our Statement of Faith.

Orange (the Amazing Life Foundation) is not affiliated with North Point Ministries.

FamilyWise was founded as a separate and independent organization that was not at any time affiliated with NorthPoint Ministries and Andy Stanley other than a common ecumenical mission. FamilyWise, now the Amazing Life Foundation, has intentionally sought to support a diverse array of denominational and non-denominational ministries representing a variety of models and traditions with one common purpose: to support a vibrant and authentic faith in the next generation through partnership between ministry leaders and parents.

Orange continues to operate as a 501(c)(3) organization separate and independent from any of the ministries that participate in the Orange strategy, attend Orange events, or implement Orange curriculum and products. We seek to provide resources and training that elevate what we believe are 9 core theological insights shared by the many denominations who participate with Orange. To learn more about Orange’s theological framework, you may also access our Statement of Faith or the latest Orange curriculum Scope and Cycles.

Yes! Each curriculum is always relevant, biblical, engaging, and experiential. We know what you teach a kid about God will impact the rest of their lives, their future families, and the future of the Church. So, we take what they believe and why they believe it very seriously. The Bible is a big book, and kids and teens won’t remember (or understand) all of it. So, Orange helps you prioritize and repeat what matters most so that the truth of WHO God is and WHAT God has done for them will be cemented in their hearts long after they leave our programs.

We’re so glad you’re renewing. Simply hover on the Shop Curriculum tab on the Store side of the site, select the curriculum you’d like to renew and you’ll be walked through that process.
