25 Christian Back to School Gifts for Students: Church Edition
Are you looking for Christian back-to school gifts for kids? These inexpensive gift ideas you can buy in bulk are perfect for church, kids’ ministry, or Sunday school to give to their students! Faith-focused school supplies and gift ideas for any budget & occasion – I especially love them for end-of-summer party favors and backpack drives, too!
Cute Christian Back to School for Students that Won’t Break the Bank
Back-to-school can be a really anxious time for a lot of kids. There are so many unknowns with new teachers, new classmates… on top of a tighter schedule than they’ve just enjoyed all summer!
And for Christian kids, we so want them to be aware of their faith and have that be an anchor for them when school gets a little stormy.
Back-to-school supply lists come out earlier and earlier, and I thought it would be a great idea to send kids back with school supplies that reinforce their faith.
Bible verse pencils, Christian bookmarks for kids, Christian stickers… so many things that not only remind them of their faith and that Jesus is with them, but also serve as a witness to other kids in class.
The gifts I’m sharing today could work for a number of occasions:
- Back to School Gift Bags from Church
- Sunday School Back to School Gifts
- Kids Ministry Back to School Gifts
- End of Summer Party Favors
- Back to School Gifts for Homeschoolers
Really, these back to school gifts for students can work for any occasion that you want to point them toward Jesus.
Many of them are super-inexpensive enough to buy in bulk, making them perfect gifting one child, a whole Sunday School class, or all the kids in your church.
What I also love is that the kids don’t have to already know Jesus. The message on each one can plant a seed, spark a question, or just remind them that God loves them.
OK, let’s check out these fun, faith-filled gift ideas!
