The 2026 Come, Follow Me (Art Companion)

get the art companion & teaching guide

Starting September 6, Sunday School classes switch to 25 minutes every week. The Center’s Come, Follow Me (Art Companion) is a 5-minute weekly guide that supplements the scheduled chapters with a curated piece of art. Designed for both church and home, it creates an instant spark for deep discussion in classrooms and an unhurried way to gather around the week's chapters at home.

Get the Art Companion in your inbox weekly PLUS our guide to teaching with art in your lessons to get a new, deeper perspective – whether you’re teaching adults, youth, or primary, or just studying at home.

Get to the good part.

Art does something special. It invites people to look, to notice, to wonder aloud, often before you've even said a word as the teacher.

Each week the Art Companion delivers one work of art curated for the coming week's Come, Follow Me lesson, a short passage that threads the art and the scripture together, followed by a set of ready-to-use discussion questions (including a some especially for the children and youth).

Help your class look up and lean in — no lengthy preamble needed.

Help Come, Follow Me to come alive at home.

With shorter Sunday classes, home scripture study (the kind that happens at a kitchen table, in a car, or in the ten minutes before bed) becomes even more important. With a work of art woven right into your weekly Come, Follow Me reading, you can jump right into rich reflection and conversation. Sit with an image, read a short intro that ties it to the week's theme, and talk through a question or two — together, or solo.
