Finding quality, Bible-centered curriculum for every age group in your church shouldn't depend on the size of your budget. Lessons.Church is a completely free, open-source platform that provides churches with video-based lessons, downloadable materials, and leader guides for preschoolers through adults — all at zero cost.^1
The platform hosts over 117 studies and nearly 700 individual lessons across seven content providers, covering programs like Ark Kids (preschool and elementary), youth series from For Ministry Resources, and college-level adult courses from Ozark Christian College's NextLevel Online. Churches can configure classroom schedules so that the correct lesson automatically downloads each week to the companion Android TV app — no thumb drives or last-minute prep required.^2
Lessons.Church is built and maintained by ChurchApps (Live Church Solutions), a nonprofit that provides free, open-source ministry software to churches worldwide. Founded by Micheal Byrd and rooted in Acts 4:32 — "All the believers were one in heart and mind" — ChurchApps serves over 14,700 churches across 130+ countries, saving congregations an average of $1,500 per year on software costs.^3 Every line of code is open source on GitHub, and the entire platform is funded by donations from churches and partners.^4
