What's in Every Sunday School Lesson

Every lesson is ready to teach as-is — a volunteer can pick it up on Saturday night and walk in prepared on Sunday morning.

Story-Focused Instructions

A story summary, warm-up, and step-by-step teaching plan built around the Bible story itself — not an abstract topic.

Activities That Reinforce

Crafts and games designed to drive the story home, each labeled for all ages, early elementary, or late elementary.

Original Coloring Sheets

A fresh, hand-drawn coloring sheet for every story, with the lesson title and Bible reference so parents see what kids learned.

Memory Verses

A new memory verse every four weeks, paced so kids actually memorize it instead of skimming past it.

Curated Videos

Hand-picked story videos from around the web, screened so you don't have to preview YouTube during class prep.

Supplies & Prep Steps

A supply list and preparation checklist for the lesson and every activity you choose, so nothing surprises you Sunday morning.
