This is quite a subject and I have no doubt that this page will have to be updated frequently to keep up with all of the new song ideas we are sent.  Here is a posting of some Children’s ministry artists, albums and songs that I and my peers recommend.

Use what you can here and discard what you cannot.  There are different tastes in different churches so no matter what you see or hear here, make sure your pastor is comfortable with what you play and sing in your classroom. Also, we are not necessarily promoting ALL of the songs available by each of these artists, we are just giving you an idea of what is available.

PLEASE send me your recommendations!  I love new ideas and songs.

NOTE: You can use Spotify and Apple Music (or similar streaming services) to find good kid’s music also.  You can play one and then click “related artists” to see other recommendations.
