1 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CURRICULUM SURVEY May 2013 An n- line survey was held n a vluntary basis frm April 1 May 1 t learn what curricula was being used in cngregatins with children, yuth and adults. The survey was initially psted thrugh scial media (Facebk, Twitter, Building Faith) and varius rganizatinal list- serves (Frma, PARC, ALRC, CEF), and the April 2013 Living IN- Frmatin newsletter. A subsequent CPI press release saw an additinal bump in respndents. Sme netwrks and judicatries als shared the link with their cngregatins, which may have cntributed t sme Episcpal diceses being represented mre than thers. Nt surprisingly, mst respndents were Episcpal, due t hw individuals learned abut the survey. A similar survey was cnducted in Octber 2010 in a similar fashin (with less scial media) and in June 2009 with Episcpal churches nly. When apprpriate, cmparisns are made in the fllwing cmmentary with numbers in brackets referring t 2010/2009 statistics. CHILDREN S EDUCATION Of the 340 [291/260] churches that respnded, 8 [5,6] did nt have any prgramming invlving children. Mst churches cntinue t use mre than ne curriculum in their ministry with children (ages 0-12 years r Nursery 5 th grade). The larger the church, the mre likely mre than ne curriculum is being used. Eighty- six respndents 24.2% [63/86] nted that they write their wn curricular resurces fr children s ministries. Of these, few listed this as their nly resurce. Thse cngregatins that use several r a cmbinatin f prgrams were the nes wh predminately write their wn. Wrkshp Rtatin Mdel 7% Bible Stry Based 39% Type f Curriculum used with Children Mntessri - Apprach 39% Lectinary- Based 15% Gdly Play cntinues t be the mst used prgram: 145 cngregatins ut f % (48% in 2010/ 6 in 2009). Other Mntessri- type prgrams, such as Catechesis f the Gd Shepherd 9% (12.4% / 14.7%), and Children & Wrship 5.6% (27% / 12.4%). While in 2009 churches ften used several f these prgrams tgether, these appear t stand n their wn nw. While traditinal curriculum (Stry- based) was nce predminately used in churches, Mntessri- based prgrams are nw used just as widely. Cngregatins use a variety f curricular materials. Mst d nt use ne resurce alne. The tp resurces, in rder used are: Gdly Play 42.2% Seasns f the Spirit 6.2% Write wn 25% Yung Children & Wrship 5.6% Weaving Gd s Prmises 16% Celebrate the Gd News 5% Spark 13% (Children s Chapel prgram) Living the Gd News 9.7% Wrkshp Cycles 4.7% Catechesis f the Gd Shepherd 8.8% Lessn Plans That Wrk 3.2% The Sunday Paper 8% Rtatin.rg 3.5% Episcpal Children s Curriculum 6% 2013 Church Publishing Incrprated.

The number f curricula being tapped by churches has grwn extensively with many new prgrams ffered by all denminatinal and independent publishers. Presbyterian, ELCA and United Methdist cngregatins tend t use curriculum that is denminatinally spnsred. This is nt the case with 2013 Church Publishing Incrprated. All rights reserved. 2
3 Episcpal cngregatins, wh chse frm acrss the denminatinal and thelgical perspective (i.e.: David C. Ck s Bible- in- Life à Spark). A large number f respndents (188) shared ideas f what resurces they wuld like t see develped fr using with children; resurces fr tweens (thse in 4 th & 5 th grade were mentined frequently as has been in bth previus surveys). A summary: Interactive and experiential curriculum that incrprates multi- media and technlgy, including DVDs Resurces fr using at hme daily devtinals, bks, faith practices, family based prgrams Children s Chapel resurces Gdly Play suggestins fr use with lder children (4 th & 5 th grade), materials that are less expensive, blending Gdly Play with ther prgrams, mre New Testament stries, mre mature way f engaging adults, Updated resurces fr using with wrkshp rtatin mdels Supplementary material music, using the Bible, hlidays, relief maps, children s bibles, puppets, drama, music, dance Nursery resurces (0-2), preschl activities (fr under 3 years) Stewardship mney, earth, self Resurces in Spanish Bible study resurces DVDs f stries, hw t use the bible, Resurces that are written better develpmentally fr the audience; mre age- apprpriate activities VBS resurces Teacher training materials spiritual develpment, webinars that are prgrammatic (Gdly Play, Rhythms f Grace, etc.) Sacramental prep liturgy, Eucharist, baptism The survey represents the typical range f cngregatinal size and average Sunday attendance f children s participatin in a Sunday mrning frmat. These numbers have remained cnsistent ver the past 5 years, with slight increases in the attendance range Church Publishing Incrprated. All rights reserved. 3
4 The typical time frame alltted t educatin fr children is between minutes, with an increase in thse ffering 45 minutes fr educatin. Many als nted that additinal time is ften given fr a Children s Chapel r wrship prgram; almst all children are in wrship with the cngregatin at sme pint each Sunday. Althugh there has been in an increase in churches using Gdly Play, this des nt crrelate t the typical 2 hurs required, and may dente that thse wh are using Gdly Play (r a similar mdel) d nt fllw the whle prgram (stry, wrk, feast). Times frm previus surveys: (1 hur = 33.6% in 2009; 1 hur = 34.5% in 2010; 1 ½ hurs = 3.9% in 2009; 1 ½ hurs = 4.8% in 2010; 2 hurs = 1.5% in 2009; 2 hurs = 2.4% in 2010) Church Publishing Incrprated.

5 YOUTH MINISTRY & EDUCATION As in previus surveys, there were fewer respnses (311) t the survey questins regarding curricular resurces used with yuth (ages 12-18) as thse with children. Within this grup, 12.9% ( %) d nt have a yuth ministry prgram. The largest percentage 33.8% (an increase frm 30.5% in 2010), write their wn in additin t tapping int several prgrams and resurces, as well as many nting the use f music and vides. Of the curricula used, the Jurney t Adulthd prgram frm Leader Resurces cntinues t be the mst used in Episcpal cngregatins, althugh there has been a marked decrease in its use: Rite % (18.8% / 24%); J2A 17% (25.7% / 26.6%); YAC 5. (1. / 13.5%). There is a plethra f curricular resurces used with yuth, with mst cngregatins using several and nt ne particular prgram dminating. It shuld be nted that thse curricula mst ppular (ther than the J2A prgram) invlve vide and/r technlgy. 33.8% Write wn 17% J2A (Jurney t Adulthd) 14.8% Other (resurce nt listed in the survey) 13.5% Rite- 13 (Jurney t Adulthd) 11.9% re:frm 10.3% NOOMA 6.4% re:frm Ancestrs 5.5% Making it Real and Relevant 5.

Many wh are using Jurney t Adulthd wish there was smething else they culd turn t, as they felt the materials were utdated. Materials that are interactive and experiential, relevant t the lives f yuth tday, easy t implement, and make use f tday s technlgy (smart phnes, digital devices and ther media) were a pririty. A summary f cmments: Scial issues, current events Pilgrimage, Retreat ministry, missin trip curriculum Outreach and service Relevancy spirituality, faith & current events, wrld religins, utreach / missin, mrals & values, cntemprary issues, eclgy, prayer & actin (all tied t biblical lessns) Bible- related studies teaching thelgical reflectin; faith in daily life with scripture; nt typical bible study Devtinals Human sexuality 2013 Church Publishing Incrprated.

7 YOUTH CONFIRMATION The same number f respndents wh shared infrmatin abut educatinal curriculum with yuth als respnded t the Cnfirmatin preparatin questins. Of the 311 respndents, 1 (8.5% in 2010) d nt have a Cnfirmatin prgram and 39.2% (41.9% in 2010) write their wn, ften in additin t prgram materials. Educatrs and lay vlunteers were ften unaware f what was used if clergy prvided the instructin. Clergy tended t write their wn as ppsed t Christian educatrs r yuth leaders, wh tapped int prgram resurces. Nt surprisingly, chices f materials used were chsen alng denminatinal lines.

8 PARTICIPATION OF YOUTH Yuth ministry, whether it is an educatin class, yuth grup r cmbinatin f the tw is usually a small ppulatin f the cngregatin. Since 2010, there is an increase in the number f churches wh d nt ffer yuth prgrams. A majrity f churches have less than ten yuth in educatin prgrams, while there are still a significant number f churches that have between attending. Churches are mre likely t have prgramming fr Middle Schl teens than High Schlers. Number f Churches Nne Less than 10 Between Between Between Between 50 r mre Weekly Participatin Middle Schl High Schl The time that yuth gather varies greatly; the majrity meet mre than 2 hurs per week. There has been a decrease in thse that meet fr 1 hur 16.7% (19. / 14.3%) r 1½ hur 10.9% (11.4% / 7.8%) Thse that meet lnger have Sunday mrning prgramming as well as anther pprtunity, such as Sunday evening r mid- week activities ffered. Experiences fr special prgrams such as retreats, service prjects, and missin prjects were nted. Many churches nly ffer Cnfirmatin classes fr their yuth Church Publishing Incrprated.

Sunday afternn 10.2% (8.7%) and Saturday time frames are increasing 10.6% (6.9%). In 2013, the largest average number (33%) f adults attending educatin was individuals (23. / 24.4%).

12 NEEDS, CONCERNS AND ISSUES 106 respndents shared their thughts, which were easily gruped int six categries, all f which have been mentined in the previus tw surveys. In the past, budgetary issues have been the mst named cncern; in this survey time and cmmitment utweighed mney. Cncerns & Issues: 1. Cmmitment Adults (especially parents) d nt shw cmmitment t educatin r regular attendance. While children have expressed a desire t attend prgrams, they are t busy and have ther bligatins. Sunday wrship and educatin is nt a pririty fr families. It is difficult t find vlunteers t teach (especially if using Gdly Play) fr extended perids f time. Vlunteers will cmmit t ne week at a time. In small cngregatins it is ne r tw individuals wh d all the teaching; in large cngregatins it is hard t get a cmmitment. 2. Time n ne has any vlunteers, families, children, yuth. 3. Mney lack f funding and inability t purchase materials limited what churches culd ffer in published curricula and resurces; annual fees fr curriculum limits chices 4. Participatin and attendance See time and cmmitment 5. Teacher training Many feel inadequate t teach and leaders desire mre resurces t prvide teacher training. 6. Pedaggy Mst adult prgrams still fllw an ld mdel ( 1950s was mentined several times) f teaching. Yung adults d nt want this type f curriculum r leadership (lecture, bks, handuts) and are seeking relatinal mdels. Thse wh tend t participate in adult educatin are thse wh grew up with a mre didactic mdel. This is a surce f frustratin fr Christian frmatin leaders Church Publishing Incrprated.

13 DEMOGRAPHICS 254 respndents filled ut areas asking abut church infrmatin. As nted at the beginning f this reprt, a large respnse rate was frm Episcpal churches (largely due t hw the infrmatin f the survey was discvered). The results are prbably nt indicative f trends and usage in ther denminatins. Hwever, a strng crss- sectin f churches are represented in the survey, frm church size, lcatin, and average Sunday attendance. In the Episcpal Church, 77 diceses are represented.

15 CONCLUSIONS Churches seek resurces that engage individuals in thelgical reflectin and making sense f ne s faith in daily life fr all ages. There is an verwhelming request fr materials that are interactive, experiential and hands- n. The use f technlgy (DVDs and nline materials) cntinues t grw, repeating the trend seen in 2010 and There is a cntinuing need fr mainline publishers t ffer thelgically sund and engaging material t use with yuth. Leaders cntinue t develp ( write ) their wn curriculum while als using materials fund n- line fr free and purchased resurces. Clergy tend t request mre didactic type resurces, while educatrs, yuth leaders and vlunteers are asking fr hands- n and interactive chices. Mre respndents are requesting resurces t supprt faith at hme, acknwledging that families are t busy t regularly attend educatin fferings, let alne wrship n a regular basis. In that same vein, seeking ways t prvide intergeneratinal experiences in which t teach spiritual practices, faith traditins arund the church seasns, and helping parents wh were nt raised in a faith traditin becme cmfrtable with the Bible were tpics frequently perplexing church leaders. There is a plethra f material available t churches. In the past tw surveys, budgetary cncerns were very high. While cst f materials cntinue t be a cncern, the biggest challenges invlved time and cmmitment. Churches are ffering prgrams with fewer vlunteers, less mney, less time and less cmmitment frm thers in church leadership. A mantra within the cmments culd read, Participatin, Cnsistency, Relevant material r Time, time, time. Churches that have higher participatin and mre fferings, n matter their lcatin r average Sunday attendance, are nes that are mre likely t have a paid staff persn verseeing Christian frmatin and/r yuth ministry (clergy r lay). This wuld seem t indicate that thse churches that have a designated persn (staff) t versee educatinal ministries have mre cnsistent and well attended prgrams, cmpensating fr the lack f time that vlunteers are able t give tward rganizing and implementing such prgrams Church Publishing Incrprated.
