Resources for Toddlers

These resources are age appropriate for our littlest Villagers. The idea of discipleship at this age is to start Gospel centered, theologically sound discipleship from the earliest age. No, there won't be language like propitiation, but there will be a focus on basic principals of Christianity.

Looking for age appropriate concepts for your toddler to understand? Grab an "Ages and Stages" book from the shelf in the Village Kids hallway. 

Here are some examples:

  • God Made Me
  • God is Good
  • God Loves Me
  • God has plans for me
  • Jesus Loves Me
  • The Bible is a special book
  • The Bible tells about God and Jesus

Resources for Elementary Kiddos

Elementary aged kiddos are like sponges. Soaking up every little thing you teach them and show them. Here are some age appropriate books to engage your kiddo in the Gospel. Some are play oriented (like seek and find books, or infographics with cool information) and some are focused on getting your kiddo in God's Word.

This is an age where your child might express interest in getting baptized (How Awesome!). Wondering if they are ready? Stop by the Village Kids Hallway and grab a pamphlet on Baptism. It will give you some great questions for you to process through to help you make the right decision.
