Children's Ministry Curriculum That Grows With Your Kids

Sunday school can set children in the right direction on their walk of faith, and Cokesbury partners with churches and parents to help create lifelong disciples of Jesus. Our children's ministry curriculum includes Sunday school lessons designed for every stage of childhood, including favorites like Bible Story Basics and Cokesbury Kids Big Faith; resources intentionally built to create a social, emotional, and spiritual environment that prepares hearts and minds for God to work.

Our children's church curriculum is designed to be:

• Easy for volunteers to pick up and teach with minimal prep
• Flexible enough to fit classes of five kids or fifty
• Age-graded, so preschoolers and preteens each get lessons that meet them where they are
• Rooted in Scripture, with take-home materials that keep families engaged all week

Youth and Confirmation Resources

Browse youth and student curriculum built for Sunday schools, church camps, and retreats:

• Confirm: An easy-to-follow, fully customizable confirmation program
• Affirm: A six-week discipleship resource

Both programs inspire students to find their place in God's story as they cross the threshold into young adulthood.

Adult Bible Study Curriculum

Choose from a diverse selection of adult Bible study curriculum for Sunday school classes, small groups, and personal study. Organized and easy for leaders and participants alike, our catalog includes bestsellers such as Adult Bible Studies and the Standard Lesson Quarterly, with options ranging from introductory studies to deep-dive textual work.

Multigenerational and VBS Options

We often learn best when we learn together, old and young, seasoned and new. Cokesbury's multigenerational curriculum offers meaningful lessons that help every participant connect Scripture to daily life. And when summer comes, our VBS selection from multiple publishers (with a handy comparison chart) makes it easy to find the perfect theme, music, and activities for your church.
