Lessons for life

Children’s ministry should be rewarding, not draining.  

Our curriculum has been carefully crafted and presented in a way that all children’s ministry leaders can understand and implement.

Living Words content makes Bible teaching easier than ever — even if you’ve never worked with children or have no teaching experience.
