Bible Study & Bible Award
Each Bible Study and Bible Award time has three sections:
1. "Focus" meets club members where they are and gets them thinking about the lesson theme.
2. "Study" gets them into God’s Word to see how it applies to their everyday lives.
3. "Apply" leads them to make changes to their lives based on what they’ve discovered.

During these sections, the club members will complete one or more Bible Award Steps, located in their handbooks. The handbook work is an integral part of each Bible Study; the study is incomplete without it. This year’s study has focused on “Discovering God’s Love”. The units of study included:
─ God Made Me
─ Fantastic Friends
─ Jesus Our Savior
─ My Family and Me
─ Bible Investigator
─ In God’s Family
Scripture Memory
Each unit provides creative techniques for teaching one unit memory verse. Memory verse Stickers, which club members stick in their handbooks, encourage and reinforce memorization.
Skill Award
Club members work on one or more Skill Award Steps in each meeting. Activities include creative crafts, woodworking, cooking, art fun and outdoor fun.
Games
Each meeting includes fun and learning games.
Goodbye
During this time, we keep track of aware Steps completed, make announcements for upcoming meetings, and pray.

Discovery Club’s Statement of Faith

Discovery Club embraces Scripture as God’s Word and the authority for all aspects of life. A primary goal of the curriculum is to help children use, understand, and apply the Bible in daily life.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17; Matthew 28:19).
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (Matthew 1:18,23).
We believe in the Scriptures of Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in faith and life (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
We believe that we were created in the image of God; that we sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also that spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born in sin, and that this sinful nature is the origin of all sinful acts in thought, word, and deed (Genesis 1:26; Romans 5:12; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 6:23).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Romans 5:8-9).
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God (John 1:12; Romans 8:9).
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ and His ascension to Heaven, and in His present work as High Priest and advocate (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14-16).
We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just to everlasting blessedness, and the unjust to everlasting punishment (Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:15; Romans 6:23).
