About Faith in Kids
Context
60% of active Christians in the UK came to faith in Jesus before the age of 11. If we miss childhood, then our churches will never recover. The data tells us what the Bible has always taught us, “Start children off on the way they should go, And even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Faith in Kids exists to make progress in developing a lifelong faith in our children, in supporting the parents and our churches to take spiritual responsibility for their children. We create podcasts, publish books, produce free-to-download resources and we provide training (both in-person and online). We are growing. Join us to help us equip more parents and churches to confidently disciple their children.
Our Vision
Confident parents and thriving churches, raising children together, to trust Jesus eternally.
Our Mission
We encourage, inspire and equip the influencers of faith in children with support, training and resources.
Our values
Gospel hearted
We are unashamed. We are ‘Jesus first’. We are about the better story; that is joyful, hopeful and found in Christ.
Relational
We are wired for partnership. We connect to those we serve. We listen and we want to understand.
Courageous
We fill the need. We are daring, ambitious and bold in all that we do. We are not afraid to pioneer or to fail.
