The Visualized Bible Series
The Visualized Bible Series from Bible Visuals International is a children’s ministry curriculum designed with the philosophy that children can benefit from learning the WHOLE Bible.
Are you ever tempted to think that the Bible is just TOO BIG for kids? Though most churches and ministries teach familiar Bible stories like Noah’s Ark or David and Goliath, more challenging passages like the prophetic books and Revelation are often neglected.
The Visualized Bible Series from Bible Visuals International is a children’s ministry curriculum designed with the philosophy that children can benefit from learning the WHOLE Bible. In the early years of our ministry, our talented team of writers and illustrators labored to create this comprehensive curriculum that leads children through scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, at a level appropriate for 1st-6th graders. Since then, we have converted the entire curriculum into full-color, and offer a variety of print and digital formats to meet a wide array of needs.
The complete series is available in English, Chinese, Dutch, Mongolian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, and Urdu, and certain volumes are available in many other languages.
”The color and quality is so wonderful. Still amazing to us that it has even been translated into Swahili . . . Seems a miracle to us you have translated the lessons into so many languages.”

Who Is the Visualized Bible Series For?
The Visualized Bible Series was specifically designed to be adaptable to an array of settings; see below for some examples!
Small Churches
The Visualized Bible series is a non-graded, non-dated, reusable curriculum that provides six years of weekly lessons. The makes it an excellent children’s ministry curriculum for small churches. Amidst the growing popularity of pricey subscription models, this is a great option for churches working with a smaller budget.
Additionally, BVI’s Visualized Bible Series does not require a large team to implement. While having some extra volunteers to help manage behaviors and facilitate activities is always helpful, the curriculum itself only requires one person to prepare and present the lesson.
Outdoor Settings
Do you run outdoor camps or Bible clubs in the warmer months? Are you a missionary who tends to teach in open-air settings? Our printed flashcard booklets are easy to use no matter where you gather. You can either hold them up yourself while you teach, or recruit a volunteer to hold the illustrations for you.
VBS, Bible Clubs, Camps,
and More!
Maybe you don’t need a full 6-year curriculum, but you need doctrinally sound and Gospel-centered Bible lessons for Vacation Bible School (VBS), summer Bible camps, backyard Bible clubs, or other similar programs. Individual Visualized Bible volumes are a great resource! Look for a volume that covers a specific story, theme, or passage in our Guide to the Visualized Bible.
International Settings
The Visualized Bible Series was designed with international learners in mind and has been used in over 150 countries. American idioms are avoided and written text is rarely used in illustrations. This not only helps to aid in understanding for non-native English speakers, but has also made the teaching texts easier to translate into other languages.
The complete series is available in English, Chinese, Dutch, Mongolian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, and Urdu, and certain volumes are available in many other languages.
