Church at Home Links Page

This purpose of this page is to provide some simple resources and weblinks for parents who are looking for Bible-based resources to help them teach their children.

The Background

Originally, because we understood these sorts of challenges through our own experiences, this page was created to help other Christian parents with a list of good possibilities for situations such as:

  • for cheering a sick child who needs to stay home from Sunday School and church (with a parent who is likely tired too and perhaps also sick with “a bug”)
  • for suggesting a list of good things to watch or listen to for an adult who is home from church with poor health or other limitations
  • for encouraging families who still desire an evening church time but their local church has decided to no longer hold services that time
  • for supporting families who live a longer distance from a Bible-believing church and sometimes cannot travel that distance as often as they’d like
  • for encouraging families who still desire Sunday School plus church time but their local church has decided to no longer offer Sunday School; thus there is a period of time earlier on Sunday mornings or in the afternoon to enjoy S.S. at home.
  • for providing meaningful printables to quietly work on during sermons if children remain in the main service.

Most of the links have free resources and/or ones that can be accessed quickly (e.g. downloads). Some of them have resources which, to use, would need to be purchased.

Update: If you are looking for the sermons with the children’s free colouring page printables, they have been moved from this website to a newer ministry website called The Word in Our Hearts.

Please remember…

…these links are not intended to replace regularly meeting with local Christians as part of a local church that is growing in Christ. Rather, consider these links to supplement – strengthen and encourage you – in addition to meeting (even via technology if necessary) with believers in Christ whom you personally know.

Preview Standards

Our Statement of Faith is at this link: ABOUT OUR FAITH. We might not agree with everything presented at the below websites but the specific items mentioned on this page have been a blessing to notice online. We hope that they will be an encouragement in your spiritual walk with God! 💟

What kind of resources are the ones emphasized on this page?

  • the kind that require little or no prep and yet are meaningful to a wide age range
  • not the kind of high-energy lesson one might put together for a S.S. class of children
  • not just a marathon of videos with some sort of minor “Christian” content.
  • It might be something that works for all ages – both adults and children, or it might be something that is easy to do with children while having something else in the same or next room for the older people of the household.
  • Essentially, the typical purposes of “Sunday School” (evangelism and discipleship/teaching) are our focus, not entertainment or busywork. We still have young children and specifically wanted to keep the majority of these links appropriate for young children (e.g. some understanding/interest of) and family worship times.

Resources and Links

Below are a couple of FREE resources offered from our family. Please click on the graphic to download the page(s) you are interested in:

Teaching Children the Bible button

Teaching Children the Bible   How do you teach the Bible to your children? Do you use a monotone, boring voice, straining or sighing? I hope not but many people don’t know or perhaps remember, how to read, how to retell, how to make a lesson more memorable. What about objects or visuals – do you use those at least occasionally? Here are some simple tips to make your teaching sparkle!

A Teacher is Needed Now button

A Teacher is Needed Now! Have you ever been asked to “fill-in” for a teacher who can’t make it to Sunday School? These are substitute teaching ideas to make into a bookmark for your Bible.

Almost all of the links BELOW will take you outside of our website.

Full Disclosure: These are not affiliate links (unless otherwise noted). We have had some products of a few of these ministries in our catalogues/shop in past years and may still have small amounts of discontinued items from them in stock however, otherwise we receive no compensation for telling you about these links.

We are not responsible for what you see or how any linked websites behave and hopefully you would also see what we saw. We checked links in 2020 and are beginning to re-check and update this page in 2023. Please let us know about any broken or erroneous links if you find any.
