Coming this Easter: Heaven is for Real 
Heaven is for Real The Burpos are the perfect picture of a small-town Americana family: mom and dad, daughter and son. Young Colton and his dad are inseparable ... until an illness lands Colton in the hospital. Fearing they will lose their son, the parents cry out to God to spare him.

While Colton's amazing recovery should lead his family back to normalcy, they quickly discover nothing will ever be the same again. With childlike innocence, Colton begins talking about having visited Heaven and his incredible experiences there ... including meeting family members he never knew about.

Based on Pastor Todd Burpo's bestselling book (with Lynn Vincent), beloved by millions of people, Heaven is for Real tells one family's story about Heaven and the impact it has on their community ... and the world. Coming to theaters this Easter, this film stars Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, Connor Corum as Colton, Margo Martindale, and Thomas Haden Church.

Unique Easter Tools from Kidology! 
Easter Curriculum This Easter, teach with curriculum and resources that are exciting, unique, and affordable

He is Risen! is a 5-lesson series from TruthQuest that teaches about the greatest event in all of history. Help kids appreciate these amazing events on a level they've never known before!

Resurrection Clue Hunt is a print-and-play game from Karl Bastian.  Explorers search for clues that tell the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. However, 3 clues are missing!

Three Crosses is a single lesson ideal for Good Friday.  It utilizes Matthew 27 and Luke 23 to illustrate that all are represented by the two guilty criminals crucified alongside of Jesus.

He Lives! is an apologetics-focused single lesson, exploring the impossibility of theories that assert that Jesus never died and didn't come back to life.
