Blessed Children Ministry
About Us
Blessed Children Ministry is a ministry to children who attend Sovereign Grace Bible Church and also an outreach ministry dedicated to serving children outside the church community. The ministry is under the direct supervision and guidance of the Eldership of Sovereign Grace Bible Church.
We hold age-appropriate Sunday school classes for children that attend our Lord’s Day worship service at 9 am. We have also established and currently operate in five locations across Lagos with over 500 children, namely Anifowoshe, Aboru, Omole, Ipaja, Shomolu and Mowe. These locations serve as hubs for our ministry outreach to children within their respective communities.

Teaching Materials
In our teaching curriculum, we primarily utilize "Lessons for Life" by Jill Masters. For our Sunday school, the older class uses "Bible Doctrine Simply Explained" by B.A. Ramsbottom. Younger classes engage with "Leading Little Ones to God" by Marian M. Schoolland. Additionally, we incorporate teachings from "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan
