Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” - Matthew 19:14
Our City Kids learn a new story each week from the Jesus Storybook Bible and The Biggest Bible Story Curriculum. These curricula go through the Old Testament and New Testament stories that specifically point to Jesus being the Messiah that saved us all by dying on a cross for our sins. At City Church we believe this is the most beautiful love story we have ever heard.

What We’re Learning at CityKids
The Jesus Storybook Bible
Every story whispers his name. A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation--and at the center of their own story too!
The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of all is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. From Noah, to Moses, to the great King David---every story points to him. He is the missing piece to the puzzle---the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle.
The Biggest Story Bible Storybook
In The Biggest Story Bible Storybook by Kevin DeYoung, and illustrator Don Clark, young readers will hear the memorable retelling of 104 of the Bibles' greatest stories. Beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation, readers will learn how each of these stories fit into the overarching storyline of the Bible. Each story is beautifully illustrated and concludes with a thoughtful prayer. Hardcover, 528 pages. Ages 6 to 12 years old.
The New City Catechism
A catechism is a set of questions and answers that summarize our faith in a way that’s easy to learn and understand. The New City Catechism even has songs, a children book, and parent devotional to help you learn them. A good way to practice these might be at meal time with your family, or any other time you can work these into a routine.
