LITTLE SWEETHEARTS (PRESCHOOL AGE 3-5)
Year One: The Bible From A-Z.
Year Two: Gardens, Gifts and Giggles.
Year Three: Miracles, Manners & Music.
Price: $50.00 per year
Curriculum Design "The Little Sweethearts" curriculum is a three-year achievement series for preschool girls. The individual chapters are created with the understanding that children between the ages of three and five rely heavily on all five senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) to learn. The program is based on twenty-six chapters which are created to be expanded or repeated to cover a twelve-month period. Each lesson is divided into small sections, such as class time, worship time, snack time, and activity time. The curriculum is designed to be purchased for the counselor. We have included a reproducible handout and as many copies as needed can be made to provide a most cost-effective program.
There is a poster and sticker set available to purchase for each student. After the completion of each chapter the child is allowed to place a sticker corresponding with lesson on the poster. At the end of each year, a completion badge is available and may be presented to each child. Year One: The Bible From A-Z utilizes the alphabet to teach biblical principles. For example, “A—Apple” teaches food is important for the body just as God’s Word is important for the soul. “B—Butterfly” introduces the concept that when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins, we are a new creation. “C—Church” shows the importance of attending church. Year Two: Gardens, Gifts and Giggles relates gardening to teach the message of salvation; gifts of God which focus on love, eternal life, family and friends; and giggles (joy) to introduce children to the basics of a good, positive attitude. Year Three: Miracles, Manners & Music introduces children to the concept that Jesus performed miracles and still continues to do so today; teaches the importance of respect for others; and helps children develop new skills and enhance their imagination through listening to music. Merit studies are also available for the Little Sweethearts group and can be ordered by going to the home page and clicking on the shopping basket (online shopping) or by calling Pathway Press at 1-800-553-8506.

LIFEBUILDERS
MEN EMPOWERED BY THE SPIRIT
LifeBuilders is the name of our Men’s Ministry in New York. The name LifeBuilders denotes action taken concerning lives. We believe that it is the close association of men with the Master Builder Jesus Christ that is effecting true change among our men. For too long men have relegated spiritual leadership in the home and community to women, afraid to boldly step forward for God. Through LifeBuilders we are beginning to see change in this regard. God is raising up men who are willing to stand up and be counted for Christ.
LIFEBUILDERS OFFERS THE FOLLOWING MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

MINISTERIAL DEVELOPMENT
Those called to the ministry after their formal education has been completed often find that the opportunity to attend a college or seminary requires financial responsibilities that are difficult to meet, especially with a family. With the understanding that ministerial training is needed, the Church has instituted the Certificate In Ministerial Studies (CIMS), a nontraditional training curriculum, that provides an opportunity for every minister to receive ministerial training in a Distance Learning Center or via personal or Internet study.
The Certificate In Ministerial Studies (CIMS) consists of 20 courses, offering 35 credits. Of the 35 credits, 34 are required for the CIMS certificate. While CIMS is open to any qualified applicant, the program was designed for ministers who hold Church of God credentials or who have been set forth for ministry by a local church.
ABOUT ONLINE STUDIES
The Certificate in Ministerial Studies program may be completed online over your home computer at your convenience. These dynamic studies include some of the most advanced Internet technology available such as streaming video, audio and text. Therefore, certain system requirements must be installed on your computer in order to view and complete the CIMS course curriculum.
For more detailed information on technical requirements for the CIMS program, visit the technical support page of this web site.
For a step-by-step tutorial for this site, which includes detailed information on the CIMS program, how to sign up and track your progress, visit our Program Path Page.

USA MISSIONS
Matthew 28:19-20 -Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” USA Missions New York is committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. The Great Commission is our Mandate, our calling and our challenge. Without a doubt, New York is a great Mission Field- one we cannot ignore. According to the US Census Bureau, there are over 19 million people living in our state, yet less than 25,000 of New Yorkers are Church of God members. We have 160 churches and 12 missions which is nothing in comparison with the vast harvest field. Through this ministry we are challenged to:
