Resources for Faith Formation

  • Pastor Amelia’s top pick for a Bible for younger learners. Short stories with beautiful illustrations, selected stories are appropriate for elementary age. Features “Wonder” questions after each story.

  • Best pick for slightly older learners— most stories are kept to one page. Lots of faith, prayer, and map/ historical resources in the back.

  • The most scholarly option. Good for older students, including adults, who are looking for an accessible introduction into Biblical scholarship.

  • Designed for contemplative children, longer, more in depth stories. Has wonder moments and activities. Good for a child who is interested in a deeper dive.

  • Renowned scholar N.T. Wright’s Children’s Bible.

  • Orthodox reminder of the theology behind our tradition’s embrace of LGBTQ people. Good corrective if students are struggling with peers who come from less Biblically literate traditions.
