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 providing video-based lessons, downloadable materials, and leader guides for preschoolers through adults — all at zero cost.^1
The platform hosts content from five main program providers — Ark Kids Junior (preschool), Ark Kids Elementary, For Ministry Resources youth series, Ozark Christian College's NextLevel Online adult courses, and Following Jesus Together small group discipleship studies — plus additional elementary curriculum from partner organizations like High Voltage, Faith Kidz, and West Ridge.^1 Churches can set up classrooms, schedule lessons, customize content, and present directly using built-in presenter mode or the companion FreePlay TV app for Apple TV, Fire Stick, and Google TV.^2
Lessons.Church is built by ChurchApps (Live Church Solutions), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded with one conviction: the Church shouldn't have to outsource its tools to for-profit companies. Rooted in Matthew 10:8 — "Freely you have received, freely give" — ChurchApps serves over 14,764 churches across 130+ countries and keeps every line of code open source on GitHub.^3 Lessons.Church is part of a family of free ministry tools that includes B1 Church (church management), FreeShow (worship presentations), and FreePlay (classroom content display).^4
