Bible Lessons for Children

Picture
The heart of any strong children's ministry should be the Bible lesson. This is true because the Bible lesson often takes up one of the largest blocks of time (15-20 minutes) and normally provides the main truth that should help determine the theme for the other parts of your program (your songs, the memory verse, and most of the questions for a review game). For more on this see our training notes and seminar on parts of the class hour.

Have fun browsing through our lessons below to see what your children might profit from. Take note that most of the lesson texts were written with more details than you normally find in a published text. This was done to help you learn more about the passages that the lessons came from. Also note that many texts have full explanations for the memory verses that were selected, again to provide you with details to make your preparation quicker and easier.

If you are in need of more published Bible lessons, take a look at the Curriculum and Cool Websites pages in the resources section of our website. CEF Press is one of the leading publishers of children's Bible lessons listed there. Because they have so many lessons, we have compiled a topical list of their lessons and the main themes that each lesson emphasizes. This will enable you to select a lesson based on the character or topic you would like to emphasize in your lesson. Click here if you are interested in downloading this list.
