Cultivate Kids Resources
- The Jesus Storybook Bible is our absolute favorite Bible (for kids and adults!). It does an amazing job connecting every story in the Bible with Jesus, training young and old how to read the scriptures through the lens of the Gospel. DVD's are also available with animated versions of each story.
- Crossroads Kids Club videos are the visual teaching tool that we use in Cultivate Kids. As you discover what stories your child is learning each Sunday, take a few minutes to watch the corresponding video with them and ask a few basic questions as you process together (What do we learn about God? What do we see God up to? What do we learn about us? How would we live differently if this is true?)
