Story-based Bible Lessons

We believe that children in preschool and grade-school learn best by stories. By the time children go to middle school, they should have a solid foundation of Bible understanding.

Roughly 2 years of chronological Bible story lessons
1 year through the Old Testament and 1 year through the New Testament
Lessons focus on stories kids will remember, not topics
Children will get each lesson 3 times by the end of 5th grade
Your teachers might learn something too!
Students learn a new Bible memory verse every 4 weeks
Each lesson includes supplies and preparation steps, as well as coloring sheets by our awesome artist that will get your kids excited each week
Teachers use Children's Storybook Bibles to make sure lessons are comprehended

Each Lesson is Hand-Crafted

These are not cookie-cutter lessons. Each lesson is thoughtfully built to increase the likelihood that your children will remember the Bible stories for a long time to come.

Lessons are Structured for Comprehension

Each lesson includes review (or quiz) questions that ensure your children comprehend the basic facts of each story

Chronological Lessons Aid in Understanding

By studying the Bible in chronological order, your children will be able to understand things like where the 12 tribes of Israel came from, and what the Israelites were doing in Egypt when Moses led the Exodus

Grounded in Childhood Development

Topical lessons that require children to apply a concept to their lives do not work as well as lessons that teach a concrete story that will stick with them for years to come.

Psychologists know that children do not begin to develop the ability to think abstractly until adolescence
For example, instead of a 4-week series on "Love", children will learn about love by learning stories of love in the Bible
Children will remember the stories long after they remember a topic
Reinforcement activities are much more meaningful when tied to a story than a topic

Crazy Coloring Sheets

Our artist creates fresh take-home coloring sheets for each lesson.

Each coloring sheet includes the lesson title and Bible reference so parents know what they learned
No chubby kids and flowing-hair Jesus here
These coloring sheets are specially designed to highlight an aspect of the story that will be a catalyst to remind your children of the story. They are a teaching tool for use in the classroom and at home.
Your kids will come to class excited just to see the coloring sheet for that week.

Meet the Team

Teach Us the Bible is the creation of Jonathan and Michelle Minter

Michelle received a Bachelor's degree in elementary education from Averett University in Danville, VA. After teaching for a year and a half, she retired to become a stay-at-home mom and homeschool teacher. She now teaches preschool.

She has been teaching Sunday school for over 15 years and has a passion for helping children get excited about learning the Bible. She realized early on in her teaching that the Bible doesn't need watered down, amp'd up, or glossed over. Over the years, she has continued to refine her teaching style of giving children a comprehensive understanding of the Bible story, and then providing memorable and engaging activities to help them remember it.

Michelle is the lead curriculum designer. She laid out the chronological sequence of the lessons, created the lesson instructions, and the reinforcement activities (with some help from the kids as well!).

Jonathan spent 14 years working in the IT industry before becoming the Executive Pastor at Wilson Community Church in North Carolina. He has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Information Technology.

He has been doing web programming for the last 14 years, but also has a passion for teaching children the Bible.

Jonathan is the programmer, content editor and business lead on the team.
