Legacy Curriculum
A multi-generational formation journey designed to raise wise, capable, spiritually grounded leaders.
What is The 8th Collective Legacy Curriculum?
The 8th Collective Legacy Curriculum is a structured, intentional pathway of identity formation, stewardship, discipleship, and leadership that begins in childhood and matures through adulthood.
It is a blueprint for who we are becoming as a family — and who we are preparing for future generations.
Our Approach to Generational Formation
We believe legacy is not built in a moment — it is cultivated through rhythms, values, training, and spiritual maturity.
Our curriculum is designed around four pillars:
Understanding who we are in Christ and who we are as a family.
Learning to faithfully handle gifts, opportunities, finances, and responsibilities.
Developing wisdom, confidence, conviction, and the ability to influence with integrity.
Discerning and walking out one’s God-given calling. Each generation receives age-appropriate formation that builds upon the previous stage, ensuring continuity, clarity, and growth.
