Discipleship in the Bible: Creative activities for your children's ministry

Discipleship is a term that has been used for centuries to describe the act of following Jesus Christ. The original disciples of Jesus left everything to follow Him, and their lives were transformed through their relationship with Him. But what does discipleship mean for us today, and how can we help children understand and engage with this important concept?

On this page, you will find a variety of creative ideas, resources, and activities that can be used in your children's ministry, kidmin, Sunday school, or Christian primary school to explore the topic of discipleship. Through engaging activities and thoughtful discussion, you can help children deepen their understanding of what it means to follow Jesus and how this can transform their lives.

Questions that children can consider include: What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What did the original disciples give up to follow Him, and what might we need to sacrifice in our own lives to follow Him? How can we show love and compassion to others, as Jesus did? What can we do to deepen our relationship with Him?

By exploring these questions, children can gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and how they can apply these teachings to their own lives. They can learn about the sacrifices that were made by the original disciples, as well as the challenges and rewards that come with following Jesus.

Through creative activities such as role-playing, group discussion, and art projects, children can explore these concepts in a fun and engaging way. These resources can help children develop a deeper understanding of discipleship and provide practical tools for them to apply these teachings in their everyday lives.

By teaching children about discipleship, we can help them develop a closer relationship with Jesus and build a strong foundation of faith that will guide them throughout their lives.
