If you lead children’s ministry in a small church, you know the challenge. You have one or two volunteers, a mixed-age classroom, and Sunday is coming whether you are ready or not. You do not have the budget for expensive curriculum subscriptions. You do not have time to write lessons from scratch.
That is exactly why we built the MinistryPlace Sunday School Curriculum library.
What’s in the Library
The curriculum covers both the Old and New Testaments with age-appropriate lessons for every stage from nursery through high school. Every lesson is written for the realities of small church ministry — mixed-age classrooms, volunteer teachers with limited prep time, and tight budgets.
Here is what each lesson includes:
- A clear Scripture focus and main theme
- Age-appropriate teaching content written for volunteer teachers
- Discussion questions tailored to the age group
- Activity ideas that work with minimal supplies
- A take-home application point for kids and families
Six Age Groups, Every Lesson
Every lesson in the library is available in six age-specific versions:
- Nursery (Ages 0-1)
- Pre-K and Kindergarten (Ages 4-6)
- 1st-3rd Grade (Ages 6-9)
- 4th-6th Grade (Ages 9-12)
- Junior High (7th-9th Grade)
- High School (10th-12th Grade)
This means you can teach the same biblical story across your entire children’s ministry on the same Sunday, with each age group getting content that actually fits where they are developmentally.
Old Testament and New Testament Coverage
The library currently includes more than 445 lessons covering major stories and themes from both Testaments. Whether you are teaching through the life of Moses, the Psalms, the Gospels, or the letters of Paul, there is a lesson ready for your classroom.
Browse the full library:
- New Testament Lessons — 204 lessons covering the life of Jesus, Acts, and the Epistles
- Old Testament Lessons — 240 lessons from Genesis through Malachi
Priced for Small Church Budgets
Every lesson is available individually at a price that works for churches that count every dollar. No subscription. No annual fee. No minimum purchase. Buy the lessons you need for the series you are teaching and nothing more.
If you are planning a full quarter of teaching, browse by age group to find everything you need in one place.
For the Volunteer Who Has Never Taught Before
These lessons are written for people who are not professional educators. The language is clear. The instructions are practical. A volunteer who has never taught a Sunday school class before can pick up one of these lessons on Saturday night and be ready to teach on Sunday morning.
That is not an accident. It is the whole point.
