New Christians

Just Trusted Jesus? Welcome to the Family!

Following Jesus is the start of a brand-new life, and nobody is meant to grow up in the faith alone. These free devotional journals help people who are new in Christ take their first steps: reading the Bible, praying, and getting to know Jesus. There is an edition for kids, for students, and for adults, and all three follow the same 90 days of Bible readings, so a whole family can read the same passage each day.

Ages 7–11

For Kids

Colorful journals with a Family Time page to share each week, activities to write, draw, and solve, and short daily devotions kids can do on their own with a grown-up close by.

How to Use the Journals

Download and print
Print at home, double-sided if you can. Or print a week at a time: the contents page lists where each week starts.
Start with the weekly page
Kids read Family Time with a grown-up. Students read the Week Kickoff and talk it over with a parent or mentor. Adults read This Week and bring its questions when they meet with a mentor.
Read the same passage together
All three editions follow the same 90 days of Bible readings, so a whole family can read the same passage each day and talk about it at supper.
Keep the conversation going
Bring questions to church. Pastor James would love to talk with you about baptism and next steps.

Talk With Pastor James

Did you or someone in your family recently trust Jesus, or are you thinking about baptism? We would love to celebrate with you and help with next steps. Sunday School meets every Sunday at 9:45 AM, and worship is at 11:00 AM.
