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

No more buying too many lesson books, resource packs, or student books "just in case"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.
