Bible Studies for Kids · Ages 7–11

Growing with Jesus.

A complete Scripture-centered journey that helps children know God, understand the Bible, follow Jesus, pray honestly, love people well, make wise choices, grow in courage, and serve faithfully.

How these studies teach

Children deserve real Bible study, not watered-down adult material.

Growing with Jesus speaks directly to children in clear language while keeping Scripture, context, grace, truth, dignity, and careful application at the center.

Scripture first

Children are invited to open a Bible, read the passage, notice what it says, and ask honest questions.

Clear, not childish

Ideas are explained simply without pretending children cannot think deeply about God, character, relationships, and faith.

Grace and truth

Mistakes are taken seriously without using shame, fear, comparison, or spiritual performance to motivate children.

Safe participation

No account, public profile, comments, or personal-information submission is needed to use these studies.

Ten-study journey

Start with identity. Grow toward everyday discipleship.

All ten studies are available. Children can move through the journey in order or revisit a lesson that fits a current question or need.

Use it together

Flexible enough for home or church.

Family discipleship

Read the passage together, let the child answer first, and use the adult note to support conversation without taking over.

Children’s ministry

Use one study for Sunday school, children’s church, midweek groups, or a ten-session discipleship series.

Independent reading

Older elementary readers can move through the main lesson themselves while a trusted adult remains available for questions.

Homeschool or co-op

Pair the Bible study with journaling, art, discussion, or a simple service activity without turning faith into a grade.

Child safety and dignity

Spiritual formation should never require a child to overshare.

  • These studies do not ask children to submit names, ages, schools, locations, photos, contact details, or private prayer information.
  • Adults should not pressure children to disclose painful experiences in front of a group.
  • If a child shares that someone is hurting them, they are unsafe, or they may hurt themselves or someone else, follow your organization’s safeguarding procedures and applicable reporting requirements rather than promising secrecy.
  • Questions about disability, family structure, learning differences, appearance, grades, friendships, or behavior should be handled without shame or comparison.

Begin the journey

Study 1: God Made Me on Purpose

Start with the truth that every person bears God-given dignity and that worth is not earned through popularity, performance, appearance, or being better than someone else.
