Strong Curriculum® builds stronger churches through teaching all Scripture to produce spiritually mature believers who measure up to the stature of Christ.
Spiritual maturity isn’t an abstract, unmeasurable idea. In fact, measuring spiritual growth is a Biblical concept. Ephesians 4:13 instructs us to grow spiritually into “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” The measuring stick is Christlikeness.
Strong Curriculum follows the seven teaching aims leading to Christlikeness and uses the robust measuring tools laid out in Strong Church: Building and Measuring Mature Disciples (p. 15).
Throughout this catalog you will find icons indicating the aims in which you should primarily see measurable growth for that quarter. Each teacher guide contains these icons along with some measuring sticks to help you effectively teach and achieve measurable results. The takehome papers and other resources include ways for parents to both gauge and encourage their child’s spiritual growth.
Successful businesses today have means of measuring the growth of their products and their companies overall. We can do no less in our most important “business” of helping students reach “the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”

Course Description: This course presents the wisdom of Proverbs on topics such as trust, diligence, relationships, pride, purity, integrity, self-control, and speech. The proverbs covered in the course will challenge students to choose God’s wise ways over foolishness. Students will learn God’s wise ways are the ways of joy.
Bible Passages: Select passages throughout Scripture
Course Description: This study reviews God’s plans for the future, beginning with the Rapture and going through the Great White Throne Judgment and the eternal state. The course will challenge students to prep for eternity by living in light of end-time realities. They will gain certain hope and a clear purpose for life.
Participants in our adult curriculum, whether in Sunday School classes or small groups, have come to trust RBP’s comprehensive curriculum plan. This plan, often called a scope and sequence, has ensured a strong curriculum that teaches the entire counsel of God. Earlier this year, we introduced a new elective curriculum plan that maintains our commitment to teach the entire counsel of God while offering even greater flexibility.
New Elective Curriculum Plan: After a thorough review of our adult curriculum strategy, we are making a strategic shift to better meet the diverse needs of ministries like yours. RBP has transitioned to an elective curriculum plan for adults. Each quarter, an existing course will be highlighted (see page 13),
Adults • Electives
End-Time Faith: Paul’s Encouragement to the Thessalonians
Paul’s letters to the believers in Thessalonica gave them relief from anxiety caused by doctrinal confusion concerning the end times. He explained the coming of Christ at the Rapture and the resurrection of believers. His teaching encourages us to live in light of Christ’s any-moment return, serving God faithfully.
while churches will have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of titles instead of following a strict quarterly release schedule. This change aligns with the preference for a more adaptable plan.
Ongoing Updates: While we will no longer follow a strict quarterly schedule, we will continue to introduce new courses periodically based on emerging needs and opportunities, ensuring they are timely and relevant.
Commitment to Quality: RBP remains dedicated to supporting your ministry with resources that are Biblically sound, engaging, and adaptable. This strategic shift reflects our commitment to listen to your needs and respond with thoughtful, effective solutions that help you build lives by the Book.
Lyrics for Life (Selected Psalms)
Written as poetic songs, the psalms are valuable in their revelation of God and life. We can go to the book of Psalms to find encouragement as well as instruction and challenge. This course presents select psalms on subjects such as God’s nature and provision, confession of sin, and praise to God.
Walking Wisely in a Foolish World (Proverbs)
Solomon wrote that fearing God is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs is for those who respect God and desire to live for Him. Believers who study the book will find practical instructions for living in a foolish world. This course focuses on topics such as fearing God, purity, work, generosity, speech, honesty, and friendship.
Supreme: Putting Christ First (Colossians)
This course is a verse-by-verse study of the book of Colossians. The book emphasizes Christ’s supremacy over the church and the believer’s completeness in Christ. Both truths combat the error that Christ isn’t enough. In Christ, believers are equipped to grow in the Lord and to serve Him well.
Humbled & Hopeful: Seeing God’s Greatness, Trusting His Goodness (Job)
This study traces Job’s response to his tragedy, his interaction with his “friends,” his arguments before God, his humbling, and his restoration. Learners will be challenged to respect and fear God’s greatness while trusting His goodness.
Joying Like Jesus (Philippians)
This study covers Paul’s interaction with Philippi in Acts 16 and his letter to the Philippians. The course recognizes Paul’s emphasis on thinking and acting like Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. Students will be challenged to adopt the mind of Christ so they might know His joy.
Additional elective courses available on pages 21–22

Out of Bounds: Blowing the Whistle on Team Church (1 Corinthians)
The apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth to address several problems that surfaced as the church sought to find the boundaries in which to conduct its worship and service. Paul’s corrections and subsequent instructions for Corinth help today’s church find its own boundaries for fruitful, God-honoring worship and service.
Assurance: Launch Pad for Righteous Living (1 John)
This study on 1 John reinforces the truth that God does indeed give eternal life to all those who trust in Christ as their Savior.
