Sharing the gospel
with kids

The word gospel means "good news."
It is the message about Christ, the kingdom of God, and salvation.
Use the following guide to share the gospel with kids.

God Rules.
The Bible tells us God created everything, including you and me, and He is in charge of everything.

Genesis 1:1
Revelation 4:11
Colossians 1:16-17
We sinned.
Since the time of Adam and Eve, everyone has chosen to disobey God. (Romans 3:23)

The Bible calls this sin. Because God is holy, God cannot be around sin. Sin separates us from God and deserves God's punishment of death. (Romans 6:23)
God provided.

Jesus gives.

We respond.

Child Safety Reminders

Never be alone 1:1 with a child.

To protect both you and the kids, adults should never be alone 1:1 with any child, except their own.

Contact Pastor Adam if a parent needs to be contacted or for a discipline issue.

Sometimes parents need to be contacted if a child is having a difficult time. Please notify Pastor Adam of any concerns or discipline issues you have.

Don't try to physically restrain a child.

Don't attempt to pull, grab, or hold a child to get them to go or do what you want them to do.

Watch out for hazards.

Make sure your area/room is safe from hazards like holes to fall in, electrical cords to trip over, and sharp objects.
