Kids need to know God's Word - Kids Bible lessons bring it.
So why create your own?
Maybe your Bible lessons for children lack something?
Could your Bible lessons for kids be, well... BORING!
Not Boring...Maybe Pricey?
Okay - I've been there before - all too often children's ministry has little to no budget. Teachers buy Bible lessons for children out of their own pocket.
Possibly More Fluff than Meat?
They're flashy and slick but little meat for your kids. Yeah - I've seen them - eye popping graphics and colors but inside - weak.
How About Too Many Bells and Whistles?
Why pay for what you won't use? Looks great but if you don't have the time or equipment to use it - what good is it?
Are They Relevant?
Will your Kids Bible lessons reach today's kids? Consider this - 4th and 5th graders are like 7th and 8th graders a few years ago. The issues they face, the things they are exposed to and deal with. A lot of publications and articles I see now call 4-6 grade PRETEEN! Yeah...things have changed!
So now what?
