Take your students on a journey through the Book of Acts where they will learn lessons from the early church after Jesus ascended to heaven and believers received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn how they too can live a powerful life serving Jesus as the Holy Spirit empowers them.
This page is the index to our series of lesson plans that follow the Book of Acts. This page will be updated as the posts are published. These lessons were designed for older elementary children, but you could modify them for a broader range of kids.
