In the following pages, we’ve included a reference guide to resources and materials for leaders in small Sunday Schools. As you already know, you can never have enough creative ideas for Sunday School!

The Christian Ed Committee has compiled a chart comparing commonly used Sunday School curricula that may be useful for your small Sunday School. The chart compares curricula in a handy, side-by-side layout, and evaluates them in a number of areas, including Age Levels, Cost, Teacher Resources, Cautions, and more.
View the Sunday School Curriculum chart here.

The following is a compilation of Christian Education Internet Resources. These websites are chock-full of lesson resources, craft ideas, tips–some even have newsletters and blogs to ensure a constant supply of creativity. Go ahead–check them out!
