Are you willing to submit curriculum? Do you enjoy using the content others supply?

Cash-strapped churches and budgets often leave little room for finding high-quality curriculum.  Even more so, curriculum with the right price often costs much more in lost Disciples identity.  This site's purpose is to make it easier for Disciples (and the wider church) to connect and share together.  At the center of this site's identity is one of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)'s virtues we can share with the wider church: the curriculum embraces the Disciple belief in Liberty and Responsiblity of individuals to develop their own understanding of God and the world.

Material across the theological spectrum can be found on this site, however please refer to the previous statement (i.e. no matter the perspective, we encourage ideas that ask youth and adults to think seriously about their faith without simply telling them an answer).

Material submitted to this site is open-source...meaning that it is freely submitted without the expectation of financial compensation....with the hope that with the sharing of our gifts and talents, we strive to strengthen the larger body of Christ.  It is also meant to be original and submitted by the creator -- in other words, don't send in the best stuff you bought last month (we don't need to struggle through that)!

While most of the material at the start of this project is predominantly from one geographic area (Upper Midwest), everyone, from every background, is welcome and encouraged to submit ideas and articles.

Users will only get out of this site what is submitted. Therefore, if 98% of the people that use it are downloading material, but not submitting, our collection of ideas will be small. So please, SHARE This resource is for YOU.

TO SUBMIT:
Send your curriculum to Adam Frieberg (adam.frieberg@gmail.com), Bill Spangler-Dunning (bsd@uppermidwestcc.org) or Michael Davison (michael@ccinky.net).  If you have material for categories other than those in the system, send them and the material.

At the very least, your curriculum should include both the material and a description.  Elements that make great curriculum are purpose statements (what's the goal?), supplies needed, a basic outline, helpful hints and any other things to make teaching easier.

When you submit, if you're a new author in the system, please also include your profile.  Want to make a great profile for yourself? Watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and write immediately following.  No, in all seriousness, try to include the following: your name, location, congregation you're currently involved with, what you enjoy doing in your free time, ways to reach you (e-mail, IM, website), and your answer to "What do you feel is most challenging to Disciples today?"
