Create an Apostles’ Creed poster with this with this cute Apostles’ Creed printable craft. Recite biblical truth with your family!
Do you worry about holding to biblical truths, rather than getting swayed by the latest Christian “trends”?
These are tasks that the believers in the Early Church–the 400 or so years after the death and resurrection of Christ–also took seriously.
Apostles’ Creed Printable
In order to help new believers learn and confess important biblical truths, the Early Church put together the Apostles’ Creed.
This creed was taught in a class to new converts, and at the end of their three year discipleship, believers confessed the Apostles’ Creed at their baptism. By 700 AD, Christians everywhere were reciting the Apostles’ Creed as a part of their worship services.
The creed covers:
- The nature of God the Father
- The nature of God the Son
- Jesus’ work on the Cross
- The resurrection and ascension of Christ
- The nature of the Holy Spirit
- The gospel
- God’s Church.
These are basic, vital biblical truths we want our kids to know!
Your kids can read all about the history of the Apostles’ Creed, and what it means phrase-by-phrase in my narrative history and theology book from Christian Focus Publications, Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed?. The book is a fun way for your kids to learn more about their Christian faith.
This fun craft will allow your kids to construct an Apostles’ Creed poster with a little church craft mounted to it.
Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed?
Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed?
Why do Christians still recite the Apostles’ Creed today?

Written in an engaging, story-driven style, this book explains each line of the Creed in clear, memorable language that helps children understand what they believe – and why it matters.
From the early church’s struggle against false teachings to the timeless truths about God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, readers will see how the Creed serves as a guidepost pointing to biblical truth. With vivid storytelling and thoughtful explanations, this book strengthens faith and builds confidence in God’s Word.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and churches, this book features:
- Clear explanations of every line of the Apostles’ Creed
- Engaging Bible-based storytelling that brings doctrine to life

- Ideal content for family devotions, homeschool, and Sunday school
- A strong foundation in the essential beliefs of the Christian faith
Help young believers understand not just what Christians say, but why those words matter.
Eventually, the church wanted a shorter statement of faith–a summary of belief–so people could confess their belief before being baptized. The Apostles’ Creed was written for just that reason. During the first three hundred years of the church, new believers would spend three years in a special class, learning what Jesus taught and how we should live for Jesus. Then, on the night before Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, all the new Christians would gather at a river to be baptized.

Apostles’ Creed Printable Poster Craft | Instructions
Your child’s Apostles’ Creed poster craft is a great way to help them consider what they learn as they read Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed? from the Who What Why series!
1) Print your templates and labels.
Print the Apostles’ Creed poster and church templates on cardstock.
2) Prepare your church structure.
You will need two empty toilet paper rolls to create your church structure.
Cut the first roll in half vertically. Then, cut the top of each half at a slant to create structure for the slanted side roofs. Next, cut the top of the full-sized toilet paper roll at two slants, creating a slanted roof base on each side.
Fold each roll in half vertically, as you will create a flat side on the back of each. Then, on the back side of each roll, cut a slit vertically from the bottom to the top. You will wrap each back side together, removing around two inches of the back of each roll. You will end up with three tighter paper rolls, flattened on the back side. Glue the back of each roll together, or use narrow strips of packing tape to secure the backs. See the pictures of the white rolls to see the finished size.
Glue colored cardstock around each roll and then trim the edges to fit the church rolls, as shown.
3) Assemble your church.
Print the church template page from the step-by-step instructions and cut out the pieces.
Lay the template pieces over the cardstock in the colors your child would like to use. Trace the pieces on the cardstock and cut out the pieces.
Glue each roof to the top of each piece of the church. For the tall church piece, fold the roof in half first. You can use thin pieces of packing tape to secure the roofs if you would like. Then, glue the windows and door to the church pieces, as shown.
Glue each short side of the church to the tall church piece, as shown. You can use packing tape to secure the back side, if you would like.
Use a permanent marker to decorate the church, if your child would like.
4) Glue the finished church to the lower right side of the Apostles’ Creed poster.
Display your craft as your family reads Why Do We Need the Apostles’ Creed? to remember this important summation of our biblical faith!

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here’s why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.
