5 Great Easter Resources for Children's Ministry

Easter is just around the corner. It's one of highlights of a children's ministry year. It's such a great opportunity to reach and disciple kids who may not come as often and for new guests.

You definitely want to be prepared and have a clear strategy and plan for the day. 

I'm here to help. Here are five proven resources that you can use to have a great Easter.  Let's take a look at them. 

CSI (Christ Scene Investigation) Easter Lesson

Kids are invited to join the C.S.I. Team to investigate if Jesus rose from the dead. They’ll examine three scenes to look for clues, collect evidence and talk with eyewitnesses. The evidence will lead them to make a decision about whether Jesus’ resurrection is true and if they want to enter a relationship with Him.

This lesson is also a great way to teach kids apologetics for the resurrection. It takes kids on a deeper diver to help them know why we can know Jesus rose from the dead.

Includes a ready-to-print evidence recorder book that kids use during the investigation.
