You don't have to do Orange to be Orange. Yup, we just said that. Of course we think our curriculum will give you a solid win with kids and parents. But regardless of your church size, denomination, or experience, the Orange essential of partnering with parents is vital.

Discover the key things we've learned about transferring the Orange strategy to any church in any setting.
