Scripture should be the foundation of our actions, beliefs, and decisions everyday. Teaching kids the stories of the Bible and God’s character lays a solid foundation for spiritual growth and understanding throughout their entire life. It also helps shape how they view themselves and the world around them.

Teaching Scripture to children is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a moral and ethical framework, guiding children in developing a sense of right and wrong. Additionally, it fosters cultural and religious identity, helping children understand their heritage and the values of their community. The study of Scripture contributes to spiritual development, introducing concepts of faith and morality. Beyond individual growth, it builds a sense of community by connecting children with shared beliefs and traditions. Moreover, Scripture serves as a source of timeless wisdom, offering guidance for navigating life’s challenges and fostering critical thinking. Teaching these texts can also strengthen family bonds and instill a foundation of ethical principles, contributing to the overall development of well-rounded individuals within the context of their cultural and religious backgrounds
