The first time you open Gospel Sparks it asks one question: do you teach a class, or are you leading your family at home? Many people do both.

I teach a class

For Primary teachers and youth teachers and leaders.

A ready-to-teach 25-minute Come, Follow Me lesson every week, with “Say:” lines you can read straight from the screen.
Teach Mode puts the story, pictures and key verse on the class screen, one step at a time.
“What did you bring?” re-plans the lesson around the supplies you actually have.
Seven whole-class games and a kit of classroom helpers for wiggly rooms.
A class list with helper jobs, plus private after-class notes.

Our family

For parents leading Come, Follow Me at home.

A short daily spark all week: a story, a verse, a game or a question to do together.
Add your kids’ ages and each spark shows tips for little ones, big kids and teens, with something for grown-ups too.
A Parent Corner, dinner-table questions, a sticker book and family game night.
Check in on last week’s family challenge.
Stories and games come from each child’s own Primary or youth lesson, so home matches Sunday.

For teachers

Sunday, ready in minutes.

Every lesson follows the week’s Come, Follow Me reading and is built for a real classroom: move every few minutes, give every child a part, and land quietly on Jesus Christ.

Teach Mode on iPad: “Who’s who?” hands every child a part in the story drama of Philip and the chariot.

Meets you where you’re at

Forgot the supplies? Still a great lesson.

Only have 5 minutes?Every lesson has a short version for when time runs out.
If your class is wildLesson-specific ideas for a room that won’t settle, plus a survival guide for teachers.
Got extra time?Bonus steps and extra games are ready when class runs long.
