What do I need to get started?


You will need to purchase a Mentor’s Guide, Year One: Faith Blossoming ($20.00). Depending on your class/church needs, pricing options are available for student books. The student book (Faith Journey Guide Year One: Faith Blossoming) can be purchased by the year ($29.95) or by the section ($12.95). There are 3 sections (12 lessons in each section) in the student book for $12.95 each. The student will also need an award sheet and sticker set ($3.00 for a set which accommodates 2 students). The curriculum will come shrink-wrapped and 3-hole punched, however, notebook binders are not included. A yearly completion badge is also available ($3.50 each). You may charter your club and receive membership cards for free. Please go to the Resources tab, Chartering. This is what you need to begin.
In addition to the curriculum, merit studies are included in the back of the Mentor’s Guide in each year. Mentors are given recommendations in their books where to use merit studies. Merit Studies will need to be ordered for students so they can earn their merit badges. To order material, please visit the online store or call Pathway Press 1-800-553-8506.

Curriculum Design.


This faith journey covers a three-year period with both a Mentor’s Guide and Joy Belles Faith Journey Guide. While the Mentor’s Guide is only available by year, the student Faith Journey Guides may be purchased by year or by section. Each guide is designed to fit in a three-ring binder (not included). It is recommended to begin in Fall and end in early Summer but the lessons can be started at any time. Each year’s book contains three sections.

The  Joy Belles Faith Journey three-year series is:
Year One, Faith Blossoming
Year Two, Faith: Growing
Year Three, Faith: Living

The Mentor’s Guide begins with a toolbox section full of helpful teaching tips, resources, and forms. Each lesson begins with a Lesson at a Glance chart which allows the mentor to have a quick look at lesson content and materials needed. Each lesson contains an answer key box providing the answers for the Joy Belles Faith Journey Guide activities.  Included at the end of each lesson is a Goodie Bag section which offers additional, optional ideas if time permits. Corresponding Merit Studies are included for review and suggested times to use them. Merit Studies are designed to supplement the curriculum and may be ordered separately for each girl (a list is included below).

A Bible Reading is included in the beginning of the guide. Once the girls have completed their Bible Reading, a certificate is available for free download (click here) or can be ordered for a small fee. An Award Sheet and sticker set is available for each student and should be ordered to accompany the student book. It is recommended to place the Award Sheet in a protective, clear binder sleeve and insert it into the student’s Faith Journey Guide.
