GROW FAITH IN KIDS THAT’S AS BIG AS THEIR IMAGINATIONS!

Ready to think outside the box when it comes to children's faith formation? Help children grow a faith that's as big as their imaginations with Cokesbury Kids Big Faith! Through timeless Bible stories, hands-on-activities, and child-friendly themes, Big Faith offers faith-formation experiences that are tangible, applicable, and meaningful to children's everyday lives.

For convenience and flexiblity, Cokesbury Kids Big Faith is availble in two age levels- ages 3-6 and ages 7-12. Get started with these resources: age-level Activity Sheets and Leader Guides, Activity Stickers, Class Pack, and DVD for use with both age levels.

FAITH FORMATION COMPONENTS

BIG FAITH IDEA:Each year of Big Faith is designed around four Big Faith Ideas: Faith in God (each fall), Faith in Community (each winter), Faith in Jesus (each spring), and Faith in Action (each summer). Children will explore the Big Faith Idea each quarter through each month’s faith focus and theme.

MONTHLY THEMES AND FAITH FOCUS: Each quarter of Big Faith will be divided into monthly units with a fun, child-friendly theme. Within each theme, children will connect to the Bible stories in a creative way, as well as learn that month’s faith focus and a Bible memory verse.

FAITH RESPONSE: Within each session, children will be invited to respond to what they have learned to make faith personal to them.

CLASS FORMAT

Continue the faith formation tradition that you know, love, and trust from Cokesbury Kids. Each session of Big Faith invites children to explore their faith in the context of their everyday lives. Within each session, children will be introduced to a faith concept; explore a Bible story together through storytelling and video; participate in age-appropriate, hands-on activities; and will reflect on and share what they have learned with one another.

  • 1
    Each session begins with a time for children to enter the space and begin to explore and connect with the Bible story.
  • 2
    The children will then interact with the Bible story in several ways. We encourage you to read the Bible story, retell the Bible story, and watch the DVD. Following the sharing of the Bible story, there is an opportunity for the children to have discussion, ask questions, and reflect.
  • 3
    There are three activities offered in each session. The activities are a time for the children to deepen their understanding of the Bible story through exploration and play. This section of the session includes various learning styles and age-appropriate activities.
  • 4
    Each session closes with the opportunity to share faith together. Each week the children will be invited to explore the Big Faith Idea for the quarter and share what they have learned about their faith within the context of their trusted community.
