PrimeTime® After-School Program


About the PrimeTime® Program
PrimeTime® offers churches and other organizations an effective tool for sharing God’s love and His Word with children in grades 1 - 5 who might otherwise be alone and unsupervised during after school hours. It’s a perfect outreach program that many churches include as a part of a homework club or sports activity.
Filled with fun activities and engaging Bible lessons, the three year curriculum includes The Big Story, Following Jesus and Heroes of the Faith. PrimeTime features 40-week programs that parallel the school year; if you would like to host a program for more than once a week, there are plenty of supplemental suggestions for extending your activities for as many days as you might like.
Use PrimeTime to introduce children to a lifetime of walking with Jesus and encountering God in the Bible and in prayer!
PrimeTime®Plus
Responding to PrimeTime graduates asking for more, Scripture Union is excited to offer PrimeTimePlus for youth aged 12 – 14. Along with all of the benefits of PrimeTime, this new program offers new opportunities for young people to develop a relationship with God through His Son Jesus. They are introduced to what it means to follow Jesus; to understand the importance of prayer, to develop a habit of Bible reading, and to become a part of a faith community that encourages and serves others.

- "PrimeTime® curriculum just gets better and better! It's so easy to use, but it's still deep."GS from Whitinsville, MA
- "PrimeTime® has taught me to listen to and obey God. I ask God to guide my footsteps because I believe in the same promises that were given to Abraham and Sarah. I have faith and believe because I haven’t a sister who has a form of downs syndrome. I share the Word and pray with her daily in hopes that one day she is loved and offered the same opportunities as everyone else."Isaiah, Age 9. Brooklyn, NY
- "We will show love first, we will supply water, food, money, clothing for all the unfortunate and win souls for God"Tziah (8) and Isaiah (9), Brooklyn, NY, about their team’s mission project to South Africa
