Talking with kids about baptism and salvation is a meaningful responsibility—and one many parents and ministry leaders want to approach with clarity, care, and confidence. These workbooks were created to help guide those conversations in a way that is biblically grounded, age-appropriate, and easy to use in both home and group settings. Whether you’re leading a class, preparing for baptisms, or supporting families in their faith journey, these resources are designed to help kids understand what it means to follow Jesus and take their next steps in faith.

A while back I wrote an article on teaching kids about baptism. It is one of the most read articles I have written. Recently I thought about adding links to that page to resources that could help parents and churches teach their kids about baptism but I couldn’t really find any. I found a few picture books for younger kids, but that’s about it. So that is where A Kid’s Guide to Baptism came from — out of a desire to provide a quality resource for you to use with your kids to help them understand and prepare for baptism. 

This workbook is written to be equal parts teaching tool, part devotional, and part journal. Once your child has completed the book, the journey and answers recorded in the pages become a keepsake and a reminder of a huge spiritual milestone in your child’s life. 

Since A Kid’s Guide to Baptism was released it has been used thousands of times across multiple countries.  Many parents use this book to help their child prepare for baptism while many churches have adopted it as baptism class material to help ensure kids understand what baptism means.

The biggest spirirual decision a person can make is the choice to be ‘saved’, or in other words decide to follow Jesus with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. A decision like this is not an easy one, and requires a lot of faith.

Just because it is a major spiritual choice doesn’t mean that kids can’t make that choice. “A Kid’s Guide to Salvation” is a workbook written to help your child understand biblical salvation and what it means to them. They will read through scriptures and answer tough questions as they begin their faith journey.

Just like adults, kids are on their own spiritual journey. “A Kid’s Guide to Baptism” has become a great tool to help kids prepare for baptism as well as help parents and pastors know if the kids understand what baptism is all about. 

I began to get requests for follow up resources that would continue to help kids on their journey of faith. Rather than a follow up workbook, it made sense to do a ‘prequel’, and that is how “A Kid’s Guide to Salvation” was born.

At first, I thought this would be an easy task, but the more I worked on it the longer it took. I did not want this to gloss over the subject. Kids can understand deep spiritual concepts, but at the same time those concepts need to be explained at a kid level.  “A Kid’s Guide to Salvation” does that.

Being saved means we are protected from harm or even death.

When we talk about salvation, we mean we are saved from something, but not like fire or drowning.

Some would say we need to be saved from the devil. Or money. Others would say we need to be saved from ourselves.

The Bible says we need to be saved from our sins.

“A Kids Guide to Salvation” will help them understand what salvation means and why they should consider making the decision to be saved themselves.  Some kids will have a background that exposed them to the Bible and faith. For others, this book may be their first encounter with faith and truth about Jesus. No matter where they are on their journey of faith, this book can help.

Following the same workbook style as “A Kid’s Guide to Baptism”, this book will walk your child through Bible verses, questions, and definitions surrounding Biblical salvation.

Some questions that will be answered:

• BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF SALVATION

Through scriptures, your child will study and learn about salvation: what it is, why it is important, and how to be saved..

• DEVOTIONAL

• JOURNAL

While studying sin and salvation your child will answer personal questions relating scripture to their own life.

Parts of this workbook include questions that document the personal faith journey of your child. They will record things they have learned and answer questions based on passages they read.

• NEXT STEPS

Salvation is not the end of our spiritual life, and it is not the end of this book. As next steps, your child will learn the importance of spiritual growth, including reading their Bible, going to church, and praying.

If your child is asking questions about God, sin, or salvation, this book can help. Be sure to check out the other books in the Kid’s Guide to Christianity series: “A Kid’s Guide to Baptism” and “Prayer Pact: a 30 day prayer journal for kids”
