Truth Trackers Bible Club

Truth Trackers meets every Wednesday night at 6:30 PM for one hour. Truth Trackers is a children’s discipleship program designed to disciple children through Scripture memory, daily devotions, and weekly Bible lessons. Our central goal is summed up in the phrase “LOCK-IN truth and LIVE-OUT faith.”

What makes Truth Trackers different from a typical children's Bible club is that it isn't simply a weekly Bible lesson followed by games and crafts. The program is intentionally structured around doctrine, Scripture memory, daily devotional application, and discipleship.

There are also Bible studies for teens and adults at the same time. So, gather your family together and check out Wednesday nights at Grace Baptist Church!

1. Truth Trackers is built around Scripture, not merely stories about Scripture

Truth Trackers places a strong emphasis on Scripture memory. Children learn one Bible verse each week, with the goal being quality and retention rather than simply memorizing a large number of verses.

At Truth Trackers, we also approach Bible memory work differently. The verses are arranged in a question-and-answer, catechism-style format. Children are presented with a question about an important truth, and the answer is an actual Bible verse.

For example:

Question: Is Jesus Christ God?
Answer: John 1:1

Your child isn't merely memorizing isolated verses. Our goal is for Scripture to become the answer to important questions about God, salvation, Christian living, and the world around them.

That makes the program particularly useful for helping your children develop a biblical worldview.

2. Truth Trackers teaches doctrine

One of the strongest features of Truth Trackers is the intentional emphasis on doctrinal truth. Truth Trackers has 18 major doctrinal themes, organized into a three-year cycle:

Green Year

  • Salvation

  • God Created

  • The Bible

  • Growing Spiritually

  • The World

  • The Future

Red Year

  • My Struggles

  • The Law

  • Jesus Christ

  • God's Goodness

  • Solving Problems

  • Evil Forces

Blue Year

  • God's Nature

  • God's Greatness

  • Christ's Death

  • Prayer

  • Trials

  • The Holy Spirit

Each year contains six major doctrines, and those doctrines are taught through Bible verses, devotions, and weekly lessons. This is important because children aren't simply getting disconnected Bible lessons from week to week. There is a systematic plan for teaching them what the Bible says about God, themselves, salvation, sin, Christ, scripture, the Christian life, the world, and eternity.

3. It connects church and home

Another major strength is that Truth Trackers doesn't want discipleship to stop when the child leaves church. Each child has a “Truth Journal” that is used throughout the week. The child reviews the weekly verse and completes a short devotional connected to the same biblical truth being taught at club. Parents or other adults get to participate in this process.

We use three methods of Scripture review:

  • Tap – The child reads the verse aloud while tapping the words.

  • Tell – The child says the verse to another person.

  • Write – The child writes the first letter of each word to help recall the verse.

This gives the child repeated interaction with God's Word throughout the week rather than attempting to learn the verse only during the club meeting. So, Truth Trackers creates a bridge between the church and individual families:

  • Wednesday night →

  • home during the week →

  • back to church the following week.

This allows Truth Trackers to be a very intentional discipleship model.

4. It is evangelistic

Truth Trackers is not merely about teaching Christian children to behave better.

Truth Trackers is a discipleship program that also emphasizes children becoming believers in Jesus Christ. The gospel is incorporated into the curriculum. The Truth Trackers materials regularly address:

  • humanity's sin and guilt before a holy God

  • our inability to save ourselves

  • our need for rescue

  • Christ's perfect life

  • Christ's death and resurrection

  • forgiveness and new life through His grace

Truth Trackers also has specific evangelistic tools and activities, including the “Forgiven” visitor tract and “Friend Nights,” which are designed to encourage children to invite unchurched friends and neighbors. So, Truth Trackers has both sides of biblical discipleship:

Evangelism: helping children understand and respond to the gospel.

Discipleship: helping children grow in their understanding and application of God's truth.

5. It is intentionally God-centered

Truth Trackers describes its approach as God-centered. The objective isn't simply to teach children a collection of moral lessons such as: "Be kind." "Don't lie." "Share with others."

Instead, those practical issues are connected to what is true about God, His character, His Word, His work, sin, salvation, and Christ. This gives your children a foundation for asking:

  • What does God say?

  • What does God's Word teach me to believe?

  • How should that truth change the way I live?

That's a much deeper approach to children's discipleship than simply teaching good behavior.

6. It is structured, but still fun

Truth Trackers isn't intended to feel like sitting in a classroom for an hour. Our engaging Bible club incorporates:

  • games

  • awards

  • points

  • prizes

  • visual teaching

  • object lessons

  • Bible stories

  • illustrations

  • small-group discussion

  • activities

  • age-appropriate teaching

For preschoolers, there are additional things such as puppet shows and coloring activities!

We like to call it all, “Fun with a purpose!” The point of the activities isn't entertainment for entertainment's sake. They are intended to make biblical truth memorable and engaging for children.

7. It teaches children to defend what they believe

Truth Trackers has an apologetic emphasis, as well. The goal ISN’T simply:

"I believe this because my parents told me."

Instead, your children are taught biblical answers to important questions so that they can know what they believe and why they believe it. We believe this will be particularly valuable as your children grow older and begin encountering competing ideas about God, the Bible, creation, morality, truth, and Christianity.
