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.

I have been using this website for a couple of years and I am so very grateful for it. We have been using the Sunday School lesson on the book of Acts, and it is wonderful. I have a classed of mixed ages, the youngest being five…but when we do the review questions…she answers them with ease. This is such a wonderful study for the children to learn. We started this study as our Pastor felt God calling him to another ministry, so the it has helped the children to see how the early church was started and what challenges the church family faced. We are also working on a replica of the first church…looks a lot like the house back then since that is where the believers met a lot of the time. Thank you for the time and effort that you put into these lessons and this website. They have made my job as a teacher easier, and most importantly they are touching young hearts for the gospel. Thank you to everyone involved in this website. May God’s blessings be with you.
I was looking for a new lesson that would be a challenge to my students who are all very astute about the Bible. This looks like it will definitely be that as well as keep their interest.
We have a small church and have found that many lesson plans are so simple and repetitive not really getting to the deeper truths of God’s Word.
Since finding your sight we have been so blessed to use some of your materials they are top quality lessons. All of our teachers have all told me how much they like using these lessons. The kids these days don’t need bling and lots of activity they need the Word of God taught in it’s entire scope.
Thank you for offering such great lessons and God bless you for your service for HIM!!
