Christian Heroes & Hymn Study (K-2)

Christian Heroes & Hymn Study

Grades: K-2nd

Course Description: 
This course is a combined study on Christian Heroes and Hymns. Your child will learn about
real-life Christian heroes such as; George Muller, Jim Elliot, Corrie Ten Boom, Fanny Crosby,
and Amy Carmichael. They will also explore the truths behind a hymn and the lives of writers
such as; Anne Steele, Henry Williams Baker, Charles Wesley, John Newton, Stuart Townend,
and many more.

We will incorporate a variety of ways to learn; vocabulary booklet, time period of each story,
practice penmanship of the chorus, and hands on activities pertaining to the hero/author of the
hymn. Expect your children to learn about the blessings and suffering of the heroes. Through
every hero or hymn we learn it is like making a new friend!

There are no prerequisites to this class, just willing hearts to learn. You do not even need to have
a musical bone in your body! Each month there will be a new hymn added to a playlist such as
Spotify/YouTube so you can play the songs at home with your children. You will soon be
surprised to find yourself and them humming the tune or even singing a word or two! Lastly, we
also look forward to having a real-life Christian hero who will come to the class to share their
story!

We use resources such as; Heroes for Young Readers by Ywam Publishing and Happy Hymnody
Hymn Studies.

“When religious texts are sung well, greater devotion is inspired: souls are moved…and with
warmer devotion kindled to piety than if they are not so sung.”

– Augustine

Bio: Frances lives in Mission Viejo with her husband Tim and two boys named Ezra and Isaiah.
It has been a blessing and privilege being part of the homeschool community here at PC Prep.
She graduated from California Baptist University with a degree in Sociology, Social Work. She
started out her career as a Social Worker but moved along to several other professions. Frances
did social work in half way houses, taught as a preschool teacher, worked as a nurse in pediatrics
for over 10 years, and coordinated events in the wedding planning industry. What she is most
passionate about is serving in the church and fulfilling all that God has called her to do as a wife,
mother, and sister in Christ (Titus 2:3-5). She values the importance of teaching children gospel
truths through learning about these great Christian heroes and hymn writers. She began hymn
studies with her children when they were 3 years old and it has been sweet as she has seen the
hymns and stories inspire her own kids. It is her prayer that as the next generation learns about
these real-life heroes, they will be encouraged to trust in the Lord and live out their faith. A few
things she loves to do; hiking with her boys, playing boardgames, beating her kids in Nintendo,
reading, podcasts, collecting old hymns, thrifting, making sourdough, and good conversations
over coffee or tea. Frances is grateful to be part of this homeschool community and hopes to
bring much glory to God when teaching your little ones.
