I am always looking for good Sunday School material that actually uses the Bible. These are wonderful lessons that I am going to adapt to our youth ministry. Thank you so much for continuing to publish great lesson material. I have been using Ministry-to-Children for at least 15 years for various ages. Y’all continue to aid in my ministry and I thank you for that!
Ministry-to-Children always has something to help supplement my lesson! My toddler class is young but they are learning and your site always supplies me with an idea or a craft or coloring page! Thank you!!! Absolutely love that I can count on you for biblical truths and spirit filled inspiration!

I have very little experience with teaching kids in the Sunday. I hope to get inspired with right material.
I teach Children’s church from ages 6-12. I want to challenge them to studying God’s word and apply it to their lives. I want them to understand that God has a plan for their lives, even while they are young.
Thank you for sharing. I teach children 6-12 I love to challenge their thinking and build their knowledge of our loving and merciful God. And I want them to know that God has a plan for them even at their young age.
