Each March, our website hosts a tournament of children’s ministry bloggers. It starts with a field of 68 and then we let the readers decide who will advances to the next round.
>> Round #2 has started. Click here to see who advanced and vote for your favorites now.
Browse the field below, visit a few new blogs, and vote for your favorites. You can also leave a comment below to heckle the selection committee or lobby for your favorite blog. Hardcore fans can revisit last year’s tournament & results at this link.
This is all just for fun, but there might be a prize. The official announce will come in the second round. This round will close on Sunday March 18th and the top four blogs in each bracket will advance.

How Did Selection Work?
I began with our top 100 children’s ministry blogs. I began to eliminate bloggers who were too dormant (nothing new to say in 2012) and those with malware warnings (yes there were two new hacked sites). For the remaining blogs, I looked at last year’s performance in blog madness. Then I attempted to divide the list into regions that would maximize competition. It’s not perfect, but it should be fun.
New Sunday School Curriculum: Our Bible lessons are designed to keep the kids’ attention and show how God's Word makes a difference. Every series is flexible enough for a wide-age group and affordable enough for small churches. Download a free Bible lesson in pdf or view our latest Sunday School curriculum for small churches.
