About

Welcome to BibleBaton

Hi, I’m Sarah!

I started BibleBaton.com for busy Christian ladies who want to make the Bible fun & interesting to kids, but don’t have lots of time or money to do it.

I love sharing:

  • creative Bible lesson plans
  • simple crafts
  • unique activities
  • teaching tips
  • and more

And everything I share is meaningful, yet easy & inexpensive.

In other words…

I’m here to help you succeed as a Bible teacher.

If you want to become a Bible teacher that kids love–and make an actual difference in their lives, too–then you’re in the right place.

Welcome to BibleBaton! ❤️

Helpful teaching tips

Occasionally, I also share curriculum reviews, resource lists, Bible study tips, and other bits & pieces that I think will be useful to you as a Bible teacher.

Do I know what I’m talking about?

Good question. 😉

I’ve worked with kids in many different ministries & jobs over the years:

  • I was a summer camp counselor for 10+ years.
  • I served as activities director for 3rd-8th grade kids for over 5 years.
  • I have more than 10 years’ experience as a kids’ club leader, Vacation Bible School volunteer, and Sunday School teacher.

And I’m trained & certified both in theology and in education:

  • I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from a Bible college (plus a certificate in Biblical Studies from another school).
  • I’m a certified Montessori teacher and I worked for several years in Montessori schools, with a variety of ages.
  • My written work (devotionals, mainly) has been featured in Christian children’s publications such as Keys for Kids and Devozine.

My teaching philosophy

Make it meaningful

Over the years, I’ve developed a couple of outstanding convictions about kids’ ministry:

I believe that Bible lessons should be totally fun, but NOT “fluffy.”

And I believe that crafts and other activities should be supplements to the lesson, NOT cute “busywork.”

When I teach the Bible to kids, I’m not out to simply fill up my hour. I’m out to change kids’ lives.

It’s imperative to me that lessons, crafts, & activities be biblically sound and meaningful, as well as kid-friendly and fun.

Make it attainable

But I come from a super small church with a tiny budget. I know how it feels to view that expensive, big-box VBS curriculum as an absolute impossibility.

So I also always try to come up with games and crafts that require very few special materials (and I’ll direct you to the cheapest source I can find, too). And I make it a point to keep my own Bible curricula reasonably priced.

If you come from a small church and you’re struggling to come up with materials that will be interesting & meaningful to your kids without breaking the bank–or requiring hours of prep time–then you are exactly my kind of person.

I write for you.

And I’m so excited you’re here. <3
