About Ministry To Children

Ministry-To-Children.com helps you tell kids about Jesus by providing age-appropriate Bible study material for children's church and kids' Sunday School curriculum. > We believe that God is the loving Father of all kids. It is HIS divine will that young people come to faith in Jesus Christ and find salvation through the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit to bring them to faith. > Our website has teaching material for children of all aged: church nursery (age 0-1 years old), toddlers (age 2-3 years old), preschool (age 4-5 years old), young elementary (age 6-8 years old), older elementary (age 9-10 years old), and preteen youth ministry groups (age 11-12 years old). We believe that children benefit from a kids’ ministry program in the church. Every kids church ministry deserves the very best resources for teaching God’s Word, even when they don’t have the financial resources. > Every week, thousands of churches use our Bible lessons, craft ideas, printable resources, Bible stories, moral lessons, and coloring pages to teach kids the Christian faith.
