The Apostles' Creed Printable Poster Craft

Apostles' Creed Printable

In order to help new believers learn and confess important biblical truths, the Early Church put together the Apostles' Creed.

This creed was taught in a class to new converts, and at the end of their three year discipleship, believers confessed the Apostles' Creed at their baptism. By 700 AD, Christians everywhere were reciting the Apostles' Creed as a part of their worship services.

The creed covers:

• The nature of God the Father
• The nature of God the Son
• Jesus' work on the Cross
• The resurrection and ascension of Christ
• The nature of the Holy Spirit
• The gospel
• God's Church.

These are basic, vital biblical truths we want our kids to know!

Your kids can read all about the history of the Apostles' Creed, and what it means phrase-by-phrase in my narrative history and theology book from Christian Focus Publications, Why Do We Need the Apostles' Creed?. The book is a fun way for your kids to learn more about their Christian faith.

This fun craft will allow your kids to construct an Apostles' Creed poster with a little church craft mounted to it.

Why Do We Need the Apostles' Creed?

Why do Christians still recite the Apostles’ Creed today? Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed? invites young readers and families on a fascinating journey through Scripture, church history, and the core truths of the Christian faith. Written in an engaging, story-driven style, this book explains each line of the Creed in clear, memorable language that helps children understand what they believe – and why it matters.

From the early church’s struggle against false teachings to the timeless truths about God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, readers will see how the Creed serves as a guidepost pointing to biblical truth. With vivid storytelling and thoughtful explanations, this book strengthens faith and builds confidence in God’s Word.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and churches, this book features:

• Clear explanations of every line of the Apostles’ Creed
• Engaging Bible-based storytelling that brings doctrine to life

• Faith-building teaching that helps children recognize truth and avoid error
• Ideal content for family devotions, homeschool, and Sunday school
• A strong foundation in the essential beliefs of the Christian faith

Help young believers understand not just what Christians say, but why those words matter.

Eventually, the church wanted a shorter statement of faith–a summary of belief–so people could confess their belief before being baptized. The Apostles’ Creed was written for just that reason. During the first three hundred years of the church, new believers would spend three years in a special class, learning what Jesus taught and how we should live for Jesus. Then, on the night before Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, all the new Christians would gather at a river to be baptized.

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.

Here's why:

• God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It's important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings. 
• Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
• Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.   
• Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God's Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.    
• Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others--and on history. 

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons. 

The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
