Testimonial

Foundational Principles

Wonder

“And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, ‘We have seen extraordinary things today.’”
Luke 5:26

How can I approach the Text with wonder? What questions can I ask while reading the Bible?

The Bible is a treasure trove of adventure and mystery. When learners discover the joy and excitement of studying Scripture, it can transform how they approach it for a lifetime. Fostering a sense of wonder helps students think critically about their faith and the world, rather than simply memorizing facts. Through thought-provoking questions and purposeful engagement, learners interact with the Text and make its meaning their own. Study is driven by questions such as: “Why is that detail there? Why do I need to know it?” Recognizing diverse interpretations encourages learners to appreciate everyone’s value and perspective.

Context

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15

What pieces of context are important to be aware of when reading the Bible? How can I find out more about the context of a Bible passage or story?

Context is everything. The Bible was written in a different era and culture, using metaphors that were familiar to its original audience. To understand Scripture fully, we must explore the world in which it was revealed—delving into the author’s intentions and reasons for writing. Students become more responsible readers by examining the text through six lenses of context: historical, cultural, geographical, visual, linguistic, and literary.

Story

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Revelation 22:13

What is the overarching story of the Bible? Who is God in the story?
How do I fit in this story?
What difference can this story make?

Story shapes our identity, worldview, and sense of purpose. The Bible is God's story, revealing who God is, what God has done, and what God will do. We shouldn’t read it as a collection of isolated accounts; the Older and Newer Testaments together reveal a God who loves and seeks a relationship with us. As learners grasp God’s story, they will better understand their role, how to live out God’s call, and how to share God’s story with others.

Experiential

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
Psalm 34:8

How can I use my senses to experience the Bible?

In many Eastern cultures, education is experiential—learning involves all the senses, making lessons a part of oneself, not just facts to remember. By engaging in hands-on experiences with the Bible, learners transform God’s words from mere knowledge into life-changing principles they can live out in the world.

Scripture

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD and who meditates on his law day and night.”
Psalm 1:1–2

What is the Bible?
What is its use?
How does it speak to its intended audience? How does it speak to us today?
How can we bridge that gap?

The Bible is a collection of Holy Spirit-inspired stories and literature, written by multiple authors over centuries. It is both active and alive. Instilling God’s word in learners’ hearts involves living out the text together in community—encouraging, teaching, and modeling meditation on God’s words. Bible education centers on helping learners memorize, question, contemplate, live out, and share God’s words.

Discipleship

“Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.”
1 John 2:6

What is a disciple?
How can I be a disciple?
What does a disciple do?
How can a disciple make other disciples?

Jesus’ ministry was rooted in making disciples. Discipleship means becoming like Jesus. To achieve this, learners must know who Jesus is and why He did what He did. Discipleship also involves making new disciples. As learners emulate Jesus, they will guide others, showing them how Jesus loved, served, and cared for those around Him.

Community

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25

What can we learn from the community of the early church? What can we learn from the community of the synagogue? How can we apply that learning to our classroom community?

In ancient times, life was practiced in community. In today's individualistic culture, it's crucial to remember that God desires unity. Learners should learn to collaborate, manage conflict, and worship together despite differences. Learning, reading the Bible, keeping each other accountable, and challenging one another as a community strengthens their faith and accountability.

Missional

“Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’”
John 20:20

How does Jesus show us how to live?
How can we live that way?
How can we love others?
Where is God at work in the world?
What gifts has God given me to use for God's glory?

God is on a mission in the world and invites us to join in. Learners need to learn how to see where God is working in the world and understand how they can participate. As they grow, they will see how God equips them to be the hands and feet of Jesus in their schools, homes, cities, and beyond for the flourishing of the world around them.

Educational Approach

Guiding Values

  • The Bible was written for real people in real places, facing real situations.
  • The Bible is a book of cultural storytelling. It is not a history or science textbook by modern standards. This curriculum approaches each biblical story in its original context, using six lenses: historical, cultural, geographical, visual, linguistic, and literary.
  • The world of the Bible was collective, not individualistic.
    We approach the text as a community, considering how a group would have engaged with it.
  • God's character is consistent and central for learning.
    Even as storytelling styles vary, God remains the anchor. If a passage feels troubling, we help learners understand how it would have brought comfort or meaning to the original audience. When we lose track of who God is, we look to Jesus.

Learning Framework

  1. God-Centered Storytelling
    Our learning framework begins by helping learners discover who God is and what God is like. Through biblical stories, learners explore God's feelings, responses, and attributes as highlighted in the text. Focusing on God allows the humans in the stories to be authentically themselves. God uses ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God—sometimes well, sometimes imperfectly. The focus is on what God did in, with, and for them, and what learners can discover from this.
  2. Explore and Respond
    Learners interact with Bible stories through a range of immersive activities and projects. After exploring the story, they are invited to respond in age-appropriate ways. In both phases, teachers guide and support learners on their faith journeys as they are transformed by God’s words.

Statement of Belief

Love God, Love Others™ is more than a curriculum; it is an expression of God's great Kingdom movement dedicated to fostering responsible exploration of God’s words. Our approach invites teachers and learners from all traditions to engage with the Bible in a way that aligns with how it was originally understood by its first audience.

We recognize that curriculum itself does not hold a belief—rather, it is a tool through which parents and educators, grounded in their own convictions, guide the learning process. We are mindful that the schools using our curriculum span diverse beliefs and come from varied traditions and contexts across the globe.

The core of our curriculum lies in the contextual exploration of the Bible. By embracing this approach, teachers, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, are empowered to draw personal understandings and discover the practical implications of living out biblical truths. As disciples and learners, we remain curious, continually approaching the text with the expectation of uncovering new insights and deeper revelations of God’s truth.

Through this journey of learning, as we grow in understanding of God's incredible love for us, we believe that in community—whether in schools, churches, or families—learners will become more like Jesus. They will embody His love by doing what is right, showing kindness to others, and living humbly in obedience to God. Our goal is to equip learners to join God’s Kingdom mission in the world, partnering with God in the restoration of all things.

We acknowledge the rich legacy of those who have gone before us and stand firmly in the timeless truths of the Apostles' Creed:

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
