Systematic Theology for Kids

52 Gentle Lessons to Help Children Understand Christian Faith Through Calm Conversations

A gentle, age-appropriate guide to Christian faith for kids ages 7–12

Have you ever struggled to explain big faith questions without confusing or overwhelming your child?
Do you want children to understand what Christians believe, not just hear Bible stories?

Many Christian families want faith conversations that feel calm, safe, and meaningful. Children are naturally curious about God, Jesus, and life’s bigger questions, yet explaining Christian beliefs in a way that feels reassuring and age-appropriate isn’t always easy.

Systematic Theology for Kids was written for those moments.

What This Book Is About

This book offers 52 gentle, age-appropriate lessons for children ages 7–12, designed to help them understand the foundations of Christian faith through calm conversations rather than rigid instruction.

Each lesson introduces one core Christian belief, explained in clear, reassuring language and thoughtfully grounded in Scripture. Topics such as God, Jesus, grace, faith, hope, and salvation are presented in ways children can understand without fear or pressure.

The tone is warm, patient, and interdenominational, making the book suitable for a wide range of Christian families.
