FIRST BIBLE PRESENTATION

What is First Bible Presentation?

The Bible is so important to our Christian faith!  We want our kids to know how important the Bible is and encourage them to read it and value it.


On one Sunday afternoon, both parents and kids attend a "Parent Orientation".  Kids in first grade (or older if they've never participated) are invited to participate.  During the Parent Orientation, we use activities to explain why the Bible is so important, how to care for your Bible, we explore different kinds of kid-friendly Bibles, and of course, have a snack!


Then, any time before the Presentation, your family can choose a Bible to present to your kids.  On a Sunday morning, we will have a special ceremony where you will present your Bible to your child.

Why do First Bible Presentation?

The Bible is the most significant book your kids will every get to read. It will change their lives.  They will use this book for the rest of their lives.  It tells about the God we base our faith on.  We love our kids and want them to know about their Bible.  We want kids to OWN their Bible.

What kind of Bible should I get?

That's an important question!  We will cover several "versions" of Bibles.  Some are kid-friendly, some not so much.  There are hundreds of covers and study helps to choose from.  I will give you a few recommendations, but the choice is yours.

Popular versions among kids are:

NIrV

NIV

NLT

Choose a way to celebrate!

On the day of First Bible Presentation, you will have the opportunity to present your child with their own Bible and challenge them to cherish their copy of God's Word.  You are encouraged to write a note to your child inside it to help commemorate the day.
