About The INCM Webinar

What does it actually look like to choose curriculum well?

​​​​​​​In this webinar, you will listen in on a candid conversation between Jenny Smith, Lead Brite Curriculum Developer, and a current Brite user who recently guided their church through a rigorous curriculum selection process. This is not a presentation. It is a real story of what they considered, what mattered most, and how they made their decision.

​​​​​​​Jenny Smith is an author and kidmin veteran who is passionate about child discipleship. After 20 years serving in kids’ and family ministry, she joined Awana in 2022 and now leads the development of Brite Curriculum. She also loves travel, Tennessee football, and ice cream. ​​​​​​​

Vicki Abbott has been serving in children’s ministry for 23 years and currently serves at Ada Bible, a multi-site church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She is passionate about developing leaders and enjoys collaborating with others. Her favorite volunteer role is serving as a large group storyteller, and she especially loves speaking at camp. She has been on the speaker team at CPC and serves as a ministry coach with Kids Ministry Collective.

Whether you are re-evaluating your current curriculum or starting from scratch, this conversation will help you think more clearly and choose with confidence.
​​​​​​​
Along the way, you will glean practical insight through questions like: 

  • How do you identify the most important factors in your curriculum decision-making process?​​​​​​​

  • How did you create a rubric that reflected your church’s theology, vision, and volunteer culture?

  • What challenges did you encounter as you evaluated different options?

  • Looking back, what would you tell a ministry leader who is about to start this process?​​​​​​​
