Lutheranism 101 for Kids (ebook Edition)

Give children a clear and engaging introduction to Lutheran teaching, worship, and life in the church.

Why do we sin? Who is Jesus? What happens in Baptism? Why do Lutherans worship the way they do? Lutheranism 101 for Kids helps elementary-age children explore these questions and more through relatable examples, Scripture passages, and easy-to-understand explanations. Organized around three foundational Lutheran resources, the Bible, Luther’s Small Catechism, and Lutheran Service Book, this guide introduces children to the teachings, practices, and worship life of the Lutheran Church.

Written in a clear, engaging style, this comprehensive introduction helps children understand God’s Word and its teachings about God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; Jesus’ saving death and resurrection; faith, prayer, Baptism, Confession, and the Lord’s Supper. Readers will also discover how hymns, creeds, the Church Year, and the Divine Service help Christians receive God’s gifts and grow in faith.

Throughout the book, special features such as “Word Alert!” definitions, Bible passages, and references to Lutheran teaching help children understand important theological concepts while connecting them to everyday life.

Children will:

• Explore the Bible’s teaching about God, sin, salvation, and eternal life
• Learn the chief teachings of Luther’s Small Catechism
• Discover the meaning and purpose of Baptism, Confession, and the Lord’s Supper
• Grow in their understanding of prayer, worship, and life in the church

Whether used at home, in Lutheran schools, or as a companion to congregational instruction, Lutheranism 101 for Kids provides a faithful introduction to the teachings, worship, and practices of the Lutheran Church. Most important, it continually points children to Jesus Christ and His saving work for them. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus forgives sins, gives eternal life, and makes them God’s own.
