The Mission of BetterBibleTeachers

We are dedicated to teaching God's Word to kids in crazy interesting ways.

From me, aka: Nathan...

I love teaching kids about God's Word. I regularly teach elementary Sunday School at a Baptist church in San Diego, CA and I love it.

But I'm also disappointed.

I constantly see kids in Sunday School who should be listening to the lesson but instead are squirming in their seats and goofing off with the kids around them. And that's discouraging to me because it happens on a regular basis. At church we are presenting the most valuable information a kid could ever hear. So it MUST be as interesting as possible.

And I'm doing something about this.

I still want to present the life-changing and UNCHANGING truth of God's Word, but I want it to be fun for kids to listen to. I want to tell jokes. I want to reference Taylor Swift or sports or a funny kids movie.

I want kids to never know what's going to happen next on any given Sunday!

I believe God uses the power of His Word to transform lives, and I want to make the presentation of His Word as interesting to kids as humanly possible.

You down?

Get Immediate Access...

and spend more time doing the things you love!

With more than 200+ weeks of lessons, BetterBibleTeachers equips elementary leaders to teach kids God's Word in the most interesting way possible.
