What makes Rotation.org different from other "free" lesson websites?

No advertising. No ads. No clickbait.
No product placements masquerading as articles.
Non-profit, community-owned, volunteer-led.
Theologically mainstream.
Emphasis on creativity, not "quickie crafts."
Emphasis on many lesson choices, rather than a single lesson.
Emphasis on lessons that work for older kids, not just younger.
UNIQUE and practical resources nobody else is offering, (like our Bible Video Guides)
Reviews of new teaching resources, tech & media.
Desire to explore new teaching techniques.
We are a support community available to answer your questions and help you find resources.
We are inspired by the Rotation Model for Sunday School, and open to all.
And we have a professionally-led, peer-reviewed "Writing Team" that generates extra creative lesson sets for our Supporting Members.

Rotation.org is a curated collection of creative Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources. Contributed and improved by our members, volunteer and staff writers -- you are welcome to share what you can and glean what you need. A free registration gets you access to additional content, features, and permission to post. Supporting Members get access to our Writing Team Lesson Sets, our free software and guide downloads, and much more.

Founded in 1997, we are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, creatively inclined, and member-supported.

How Our Content is Organized
Our lesson forums are organized by Bible story and then by teaching medium (video, art, cooking, drama, etc. -- what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Because the Rotation Modelers who manage this site teach major Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, some minor story forums may have less content. Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" style lessons.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition. Adapt content as needed.
