Parachurch Organization
For organisations working across many churches at once, who need material that does not carry a denominational position into rooms that differ.
Built on Ellis Abel and the Disciple — “Difference isn't weakness. It's a gift.” The story carries the value; your church supplies the doctrine.
The five sessions
- Session 1
Scope: age bands, group sizes, session length, leader experience
- Session 2
Materials: story, leader script, family take-home, printable pack
- Session 3
Train the volunteers — one evening, with the hard cases rehearsed
- Session 4
Run one term and capture what the children actually did
- Session 5
Review the term, adjust the pack, and set the next one
Questions leaders ask
Does parachurch organization in your area teach a particular denomination?
No. Ellis Abel is a character series built on named values — belonging, courage, accountability, self-mastery, empathy and faith. Book six treats faith as the choice to move forward while it is still hard. The story carries the value; your church supplies the doctrine. That is why the same material is used across traditions.
What ages does this work for?
Ages 6-18. The story is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet is still fully in it, and the discussion questions are written in two bands so one leader can hold a mixed-age room.
What does a your area licence include?
The volumes, the session material, leader scripts, family take-home pages, and the right to run it under your own program name. Terms are set per organisation and per size — there is no single-price page because a co-op and a denomination are not the same conversation.
Do we have to use your branding?
No. You keep your name, your leaders and your teaching. The books are the spine, not the sign over the door.
The rules that make it work
The story carries the value, the church supplies the doctrine
Ellis Abel is a character series. It teaches faith as perseverance and stops where doctrine begins, so a parish, a Baptist club and a co-op can all run it beside their own teaching.
Difference isn't weakness
The line on the cover of book six is the operating policy, not a slogan. A child whose participation looks different is participating.
Faith is a decision, not a mood
Children are told to feel confident and cannot make themselves. They can decide to take one more step, and that is teachable, repeatable and honest.
Volunteers are the constraint
Every session is written for an adult who was handed it the night before. Questions written out, timing in the margin, and a note for when nobody answers.
Nobody is diagnosed, labelled or fixed here
This is character material, not a clinical or counselling service. Leaders share what they did and what happened. They do not assess children.
One step, said out loud, followed up by name
A value a child cannot attach to an action they took is a word they memorised. The follow-up the next week is what turns it into something they own.
