Freebie Friday: LifeChurch.tv OPEN

Freebie Friday is a weekly feature here on my blog.  Every Friday, I’ll post about a new freebie you can find online or near you!

This week in Freebie Friday:
LifeChurch.tv OPEN

LifeChurch.tv has always set the standard high for digital interaction in churches. They were one of the first churches to use the internet as a live broadcast medium for a church service. They’ve introduced fantastic tools such as YouVersion to the web for anyone to use at absolutely no charge. They’ve even got a service to resource churches- LifeChurch.tv OPEN.

A few weeks ago, Kendra Golden of the LifeChurch.tv Content Development Team introduced me to OPEN. OPEN was born out of a passion to see as many life changed as possible over as wide an area as possible. LifeChurch.tv makes some pretty sweet curriculum for their kids’ ministry, but in large part they were making it and then it was sitting “on the shelf”. So they’ve taken all of the children’s ministry curriculum and posted it on OPEN. Free.

Four years worth of preschool curriculum including videos, storybooks, lesson plans, and activity pages are available. For elementary kids, their weekend curriculum comes in 3-5 week series, and is a full hour of a video-driven program. They’ve also got KONNECT, a mid-week elementary discipleship program that is a two-hour program that goes through the stories of the Bible in a small group format with a game, a hands-on craft, and snack to reinforce the Bible story presented in a short video. Best yet, you can even visit lifekids.tv to provide follow up resources to kids and their parents.

And did I mention, it’s all free? You’ll probably want to mention it to your fellow staff members- the youth and adult programs from LifeChurch are up there too. Next time you need a change in your program, check out LifeChurch.tv OPEN to get a free series. You can’t beat that.
