A free ministry offering gospel-centered devotionals, Sunday school lessons, and audio resources for children ages 4-13. Designed for parents, teachers, and missionaries who need trustworthy, no-cost Bible material.
Our verdict
Truth for Kids is a quietly generous ministry run by Dave Strehler that has offered free Bible resources for children, parents, and teachers since 2010. Its heart is a set of age-tiered devotionals, one track for younger children roughly ages 4-8 and another for older kids 8-13, alongside printable Sunday school lessons, crafts, activity sheets, and a clear, repeated presentation of the gospel.
The appeal is straightforward: everything is genuinely free, with no ads, paywalls, or subscriptions, and an audio option lets pre-readers listen along. For a parent leading family devotions on a budget, a Sunday school teacher needing lesson material, or a missionary looking for translatable gospel content, it's a surprisingly deep well of usable resources.
The limitation is presentation. This is a website-only resource with a dated design, minimal interactivity, and none of the polish of a modern Bible app, so it rewards parents willing to do a little curating themselves. Judged on substance and price rather than shine, though, it delivers real value.
