At Faith Lutheran Church, we give out Bibles three separate times.
As children and young people grow, they need different versions and translations to grow with them.
Preschoolers and Kindergartners
The Spark Story Bible is given to every family as their oldest child is 4-5 years old. This bible is used in every Sunday School class room in coordination with the curriculum.
Families have reported they enjoy reading this Bible at home as part of their bedtime routine. It contains a large selection of both Old and New Testament stories. It even gives the look up reference for bibles as the children grow. The pictures are friendly but also convey the difficult emotions found in many of the stories.

Second Graders
This bible is an NIrV: New International readers' Version. It is written at a third grade reading level. It includes some good extras like "Check it out" questions and pictures illustated by children.
The second graders and their parents learn to look up passages using the Bible passage's "address". Each family also has the assignment that if they have a Bible at home, they should find it and then look up one of their favorite stories.
The kids are also excited because they get to use a highlighter in their Bible!

Confirmation Study Bible (7th graders)
As the 7th graders at Faith begin confirmation studies, they receive the Lutheran Study Bible. This Bible is also used by many adults in bible class at Faith.
