• Simply for You
  • Get back to what matters most — helping kids love God and others! Take out the Sunday complication so you can focus on your kids.
  • Simplified Recruiting
  • Quick lesson prep for a single leader. All other volunteers (called Crew Guides) simply show up and participate with kids. It’s a snap to assemble your Sunday morning team!
  • Simplified Supplies
  • Gather easy-to-find supplies once a month. Easy on your time…and budget!
  • Simplified Leader Guide
  • With a glance-able layout, Leaders spend more time interacting with kids and less time glued to scripts.
  • Simplified Lesson Plan
  • Take a breath! You don’t need to "get through" every activity. Everything points back to the Bible Point — and to Jesus—no matter how far you get! Plus, lessons work in any classroom format.
• Simply for Volunteers
  • We made a list of what keeps people who love Jesus and kids from volunteering on Sundays — and then we made it easier than ever to serve.
  • Simplified Responsibilities
  • If your volunteers are too busy to memorize a script or plan a lesson, that’s okay! Most volunteers — called Crew Guides—just show up and participate with kids. One Leader will direct kids and Crew Guides, so Crew Guides simply focus on relationships!
  • Simplified Requirements
  • Since most volunteers are helpers who simply participate with kids, they don’t have to be Bible experts — just people who love Jesus and kids!
  • Simplified Training
  • Perfect for volunteer newbies, Simply Loved includes training videos that cover the basics of good volunteering. The videos are short (10 minutes or less) and cover everything from how to ask open-ended questions to classroom management.
  • Simplified Made for Friendships
  • Since volunteers aren't worrying about a performance or leading the lesson, they can do what they love: hang out with kids and share God's love.
• Simply for Kids
  • We made a list of what keeps people who love Jesus and kids from volunteering on Sundays — and then we made it easier than ever to serve!
  • Age-Specific Teaching
  • Elementary kids (1st-4th grade) learn differently than Pre-K & K kids (ages 3-5), so we’ve intentionally designed two separate, age-appropriate programs.
  • Captivating Bible Memory
  • When kids meet a character they love, they remember! That’s why we include animal characters called Bible Memory Buddies to help kids remember who God is and how much he loves them.
  • Connecting God To His Creation
  • Every week uses a different animal characteristic to cement Bible learning. These fun facts fascinate kids and show them how God can be seen in every corner of his creation!
  • Hands-On Learning
  • Kids don’t learn best when all they do is sit and listen. We get kids moving and experiencing God’s Word through multiple multi-sensory activities.
• Simply for Families
  • Built to support your family ministry, Simply Loved brings families together and provides great resources for parents!
  • Same Scope And Sequence
  • All ages follow the same scope and sequence, including the same Bible story, Bible Memory Verse, and Bible Memory Buddy, so siblings learn and share together.
  • Month-Long Themes
  • Made for today’s busy families, each Simply Loved Unit features a single Bible Point, so kids who miss a week or two still get great Bible learning. And kids who come every week go even deeper!
  • Take-Homes
  • Simply Loved Take-It-Home Flyers and Coloring Creation pages take the fun and excitement of that week’s lesson and bring it home. Created to provide intentional, practical, and easy ways for kids and the rest of the family to discuss that week’s Bible Point and apply it to their lives. Plus, kids receive a super-cool Bible Memory Buddy sticker to wear, keep, or collect.
  • Parent Resources
  • Additional digital resources for parents, including email and social media assets, are included in the Simply Loved Plus Digital Kit.
