What ministry-to-children does

Ministry-To-Children is a US-based, founder-owned online children's ministry resource platform founded by Tony Kummer in 2007. It provides free, printable Bible-based lessons, crafts, games, coloring pages, and Sunday school curriculum organized by age, Bible story, and theme, with a searchable library of 4,400+ resources used by over 200,000 churches annually. The platform serves resource-constrained small churches, volunteer Sunday school teachers, homeschool families, and Christian school teachers who lack budget or staffing for paid curriculum publishers.

The underlying technology is a straightforward web-based content platform delivering downloadable PDF materials under a CC BY-SA 4.0 open license; no proprietary technology stack is disclosed. Content is produced by a small team of writers with domain expertise in church-based children's ministry, and discovery is driven primarily by SEO and word-of-mouth referrals within the church community. The platform is part of a broader ecosystem of related sites including sundayschool.store, sundayschool.works, youthgroupministry.com, and kids-bible-lessons.org.

The direct business model is non-commercial — the Ministry-To-Children site itself generates no revenue from users. Commercial monetization is housed in a partner entity, The Sunday School Store, which since 2020 has sold affordable, printable children's church curriculum bundles (including 52-week curriculum bundles, 4-week sample packs, and age-specific programs). Ministry-To-Children functions as the free content and SEO funnel that drives traffic into the Store's paid products. Pricing on the Store is described as affordable and flexible for small churches, but specific pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
