I post my original lesson plans for children’s church. These lesson plans are designed for K-5 sessions with 30 kids. With a few simple changes, these would be very useful for children’s Sunday school. Feel free to use then in your child churches, Sunday school or children’s ministry program. This curriculum is based on LeRoy Ford’s Design for Teaching and Training.

Each lesson plan includes clear goals and targeted learning activities. I try to include any relevant activity, game, idea, song, craft, sermon, story, material that will help you teach. You can view them on my free children’s church lesson plans page. First taught in a baptist church, but they should work in any christian church. You can also find some Sunday school crafts online.

Hi Tony, my pastor asked me this morning to be the youth director, as well as the youth Sunday School teacher…do you have any lessons focused on grades 7-12? Your help in this matter would be appreciated. I will have a leader study book, but your ideas are so fresh, I thought I’d better check with you for additional info.

Thanks and God bless!

Cheryl
