Every child, a story worth telling.
🗺️ Kings Storyland

The Garden Lands
God the King speaks a good world into being and walks with His people in the Garden Lands.

- Act 5Jesus Saves
The King Arrives
The Kingdom of the Son
The King Himself arrives in the Kingdom of the Son, Jesus, to save the people He's been rescuing all along.
- Act 6Jesus Saves
The King's Kingdom Grows

- Act 7God is King
The King Will Return
The City of Light

More Than a Curriculum. One Unfolding Story.
The King's Apprentice runs on Kings Storyland: one story told across seven Acts and a full year of Sundays, with Little Sparks, Little Lights, and Bright Lights all walking the same journey at their own depth.
We believe every child is made in the image of the King. Four truths hold the whole story together, and every session, every age band, every Act points back to them.
God is King
He rules over everything, from the very beginning.
We Need Him
On our own, we can't fix what's broken in us or the world.
We Trust His Word
He's spoken, and what He has said, He keeps.
Jesus Saves
Jesus is the rescue the whole story points to.
Every child is made in the image of the King.
