Teaching the Trinity to Kids

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith, and yet admittedly one of the most difficult to understand, especially for kids.
​
In the history of the church, no one has been able to completely explain the Trinity. That’s because the finite (us) cannot fully grasp the infinite (God).
​
Nothing caused me more trepidation during nightly Bible reading with my kids than beginning to explain to them how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were all God yet different persons.​
​
​I wanted my children to appreciate the mystery of the Trinity without concluding that “mystery” implies “irrational” or “contradictory”.​
​ ​
​If you are raising young kids or even youth, don’t leave it up to your church teachers or pastors to teach them these essential truths, although certainly look for their help.
​
​What follows is not necessarily a formula, but just the approach I muddled through. I hope that it might provide you with some help and confidence to not shy away from tackling this essential Christian truth with your kids.
