We know what Sunday morning actually looks like.
We have been the band at the front of that room for thirty years: gyms, sanctuaries, fellowship halls, one memorable hallway. We have watched a lot of children’s ministry leaders pull off something remarkable on a Tuesday budget.
We didn’t set out to publish curriculum. We built it because churches kept asking us for it.
You're short on volunteers.
So the lesson has to work whether four people showed up or fourteen, and whether the one running small group has done this for years or is doing it for the first time this morning.
You're short on budget.
Re-buying the whole thing every single year isn't a plan. It's a subscription nobody in your church ever agreed to.
You're not short on love for these kids.
You're not trying to fill an hour. You want them walking out to the parking lot singing something true, and still humming it in November.
Whatever brought you here, start here.
Four lines of resources. The same music, the same Bible teaching, and the same deal on every one of them. You buy it once.

So who is Go Fish?
A band. Three guys based in Nashville: Jamison Statema, Chad Graham, and DJ Chase Akers. They have spent 30 years making music for kids and the grown-ups stuck in the car with them.
We decided to be done
chasin’ number ones
’cuz we’re havin’ way more fun
with the kids!
Two million albums later, they still tour the country. Along the way they built the thing churches kept asking them for: a line of children’s ministry resources, including VBS curriculum, Christmas curriculum, and worship videos.
Where it started
The music came first.
Before there was a single lesson plan there were songs. Two million albums of them. The curriculum grew out of the music, not the other way around, and the songs are still the part kids are singing in the car on the way home.
Stream every Go Fish album on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and Amazon, so what they learn in June keeps playing in November.

We changed the rules. Here’s why.
Most children’s ministry curriculum is sold like a subscription you can never cancel. We sell you a library you own.
The typical model
- A fresh purchase every year, $500–$1,000+ per church for VBS alone, every single summer
- Flashy themes that change annually, designed to make last year's feel outdated
- Nickel-and-dime add-ons: leader guides separate, music licensed extra, crafts upsold
- Expires by design. Last year's theme feels dated by October
The Go Fish model
- Buy once, use forever. Six VBS programs in rotation is six years before you repeat one.
- Timeless themes rooted in Scripture. They're not trendy because the Bible isn't trendy.
- Everything in one download. Manuals, music videos, Bible studies, crafts, snacks, games, promo.
- Heavy on the Bible. Kids open it, read it, and understand it. Every. Single. Day.
- Original music from a band with two million albums sold. The songs are the part kids remember.
- The same deal on everything: VBS, Christmas, Easter, and the worship video library.

Trusted by thousands of churches for over 30 years.
We had one young boy that doesn’t attend our church ask if he could skip games and crafts to “go learn more about Jesus.” We also had 33 kids accept Jesus as their savior.
“It's been the most fun and smoothly running VBS we've ever had. You know what made my week? Having kids come up to me and recite the 10 Commandments! Kids are singing about CONTENT, not “theme” this year.”
Kim Smith
1st Church of the Nazarene, East Liverpool, Ohio
“Gotta Move is a great VBS curriculum from the Go Fish team. As usual, Go Fish brings a fresh, innovative approach to children's ministry.”

Questions churches actually ask
Will this still feel fresh years from now?
Timeless by design. We deliberately left out the stuff that expires: no pop-culture references that age out, no gimmicks that feel dated by October. Inside is original Go Fish music, professional video, and Bible teaching that goes deeper than most programs published this year.
Can I really reuse these year after year?
Absolutely. That's the whole point. With 6 programs, you can rotate one per year and go 6 full years before repeating. Most kids will have aged out before they see the same curriculum twice.
Can I use this for more than just VBS?
Yes. Each curriculum was designed to adapt for Sunday school (4–5 week series), midweek programs, after-school clubs, and summer day camp. The daily schedule is built for a 3-hour VBS block, but the modular design means you can spread it across multiple weeks easily.
What age groups do these cover?
All 6 programs are designed for Preschool through 5th grade. Each includes a separate Preschool Bible Study track with age-appropriate content, plus Elementary content for older kids. The games, crafts, and snacks work across all age groups with easy modifications.
What format are the downloads?
Printable PDF files for all leader guides, planning forms, and promotional materials, plus video files (MP4) for music videos, karaoke videos, and Bible teaching segments. Everything is ready to print or play immediately.
Do I need any special equipment?
Just a way to play videos and music. A laptop and projector, a TV, or even a tablet will work. No proprietary apps, no special hardware, no subscriptions.
What if I only need one program?
Start with one. Single programs are $99 for a complete digital download. Try it this summer and see what your team and kids think. You can upgrade to a bundle later.
Start wherever your calendar is.
Christmas in October, Easter in February, VBS in the spring, worship videos on any ordinary Sunday. Whichever one you need first, you buy it once and it is yours.
