Worship Songs for Kids Promote Christian Growth
I am always looking for ways to help kids grow spiritually apart from formal instruction times. In my experience, solid kids worship music is one easy way to make that happen. That is why I’m excited about all the great resources available for children today.
When kids really enjoy a worship CD, that music becomes the default soundtrack for their daily lives. Their minds and hearts are filled with God-focus worship lyrics. This residual effect of music can be a powerful influence on a child’s attitude. Kids worship songs can encourage love for God and Christian growth.
Not all children’s worship music is created equal. It is impossible (and undesirable) to wall kids away from the music genre of their generation. Children today are very sophisticated in their music tastes and kids worship music of previous decades does not capture their imagination. This is a real issue for many middle and upper elementary students.
All this is why I’m excited about this giveaway from God’s Kids Worship. They have sent me two copies of their “God’s Kids Worship Modern CD 3-Pack.” Their music includes best-known worship songs plus brand new, made-for-kids songs that help them to “own” their praise. All the songs are sung by kids and the music is arranged to fit the vocal range of children.
What Do You Think?
This contest has now ended. Thanks to all who left their thoughts about the music.
Check out the music samples from their website and then leave me a comment with your first impressions. Did you like the sound of the music? Can you image kids in your life enjoying it? I will randomly draw 2 winners from the comments below on Tuesday 25 May 2010. Comments may take a few hours to appear if this is your first time to leave a comment. I will only be able to ship to the US on this giveaway.

I like this cd!! I hope I win it!!
I love these CD’s! We currently use God’s Kids Worship for our sunday morning children’s church! The kids love them and are always singing and dancing to the songs!
Great CD’s! I am tempted to go ahead and buy them just so we can start listening now! Thanks for all that you do online to support your brothers and sisters in Christ…teaching God’s love to our little one’s is the greatest gift we can give.
I really like the sound of the God’s Kids Worship cds. The best part is that it is all children’s voices. And, it is awesome for kids to be learning and become familiar with worship songs that the whole congregation use to worship together.
Impressed that adult praise and worship is made ” kid friendly”
I am so excited. I listened to the 3 samples and these are all of the praise and worship songs we listen to at our church and to hear children sang them is awesome. My daycare children will love this. I have a small home daycare with a mixed age group and I teach them most of the songs we sing but I don’t have a SINGER voice but sing anyway so it’s hard for them to really get the beat and all but since kids are singing it and it’s up beat they can do it. I also like the way the categories are titles so it makes it easy to pick what songs we will sing each day at our circle time when we do praise and worship and we can match it up with our lesson as we are a christian home day care.
What an ejoyable way for children to learn about Jesus! The songs would make anyone want to sing along!
Awesome stuff!!!!!!!! Our kids would just love it!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless!
Our Kidz Church has been looking for a new CD…. Can’t wait to get it!
I LOVE IT! This is great I’ve been looking for contemporary sounding children’s music with all children vocals! woo hoo! I hope I win!
Its so exciting to see how familiar kids come with the worship songs that the whole congregation use to sing. And also the smiles on there faces when they recognise the songs. Its is just WOW!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the music. It is good to hear a mix of new songs and songs that kids will know and love. Biggest seller to me is that kids are the one’s singing the songs. Thank you Tony for all you do to help resource and equip children’s ministers.
great songs combination of both old and new…carefully selected and i know our kids will enjoy it…great way to teach faith anmd doctrine..great job great selections
I love these CDs they are wonderful! Great way to engage their hearts in total worship both in and out of service. Just what I have been looking for. Praise the Lord for awesome music for kids to praise him. Great Resource keep up the good work!Loretta
I love them and I believe my grandchildren would love them!
I realy liked the samples and know they would be a big help with our ministry dept. I even think some could be used with vbs they would be apealing to children. And it would be fun to learn motions to go with them.
thank you for your website it is a pleasure to use and a very big help due to our church working on such a small budget.
God bless you and your staff

Would love to have theses cds!! We are currently planning our end of summer camp and we are always wanting new “kid friendly” worship music!!
Love this website!! Keep the info coming!!
I love these songs and can use them in my ministry. I am not a very good singer and sometimes have to lead kids in music. These CD’s could be a big help for me and I’m sure the kids will appreciate any help I can get.
i love these cd’s! they are great because they are children sung and have a variety of sounds and music. children love worship songs and these cd’s would be great to have and use. in our church we have a sunday night service that we dedicate just to music and people in our congregation sing songs and our children love this time because they get to sing songs. these cd’s would be great to have and learn for that purpose! thank you for everything that you do! God Bless!
I had not heard of God’s kids worship before today. They do a wonderful job of making the music kid friendly. It can be challenging to find music that kids between preschool and high school will enjoy singing. Thank you for introducing me to this resource!
I heard these samples a week ago and I loved them. I forwarded links to the children’s choir leader and children’s ministry leader so they would hopefully incorporate them into our Wednesday night program. I think it would be a great addition to the program to sing these songs weekly when we aren’t practicing for a musical. These cd’s offer music that competes with what the secular world has to offer.
We are often looking for great worship songs.
Does it also have words printed to follow?
MC- All of the songs on the CDs are also on our “Modern Worship” sing-along DVDs for kids ministry. The DVDs have big, easy-to-read lyrics on screen that even early readers can read; plus attractive motion backgrounds. The lyrics are big enough that they can be read on a TV in classroom.
You can see examples of them on our website
These CD’s are wonderful! The tempo is a little slower than the adult versions of these songs and will be a lot easier for the kids to keep up with. Just hearing the songs sung in the voices of children is such a blessing.
I checked out the samples for the latest kids worship cds. I think they’re great! A wide variety of musical genres, good selection of contemporary and traditional songs. I was very pleased to see scripture put to music as well.
I loved it!! The music was great! I really liked that it used movements like: shake it, move it, stomp, praise!!
I believe it is just what we need to keep the kids’ attention and they love to move around and get involved!
Learn them to PRAISE GOD!!!!!!! WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE IN THEM!!
HE IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!!!!!! aNn WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!!!
I love these kids worship cd’s. We have one already, but I intend to buy the rest! I am children’s ministry leader at a Church of the Nazarene. We usually sing worship songs we learned at day camp. These are so much more!!! Thank you for your dedication to ministering to children, what a paramount task!
In Christ~

I really love the music on this cd it will be a awesome blessing foe are childrens church our kids love to sing and worship God we love the song All because of Jesus we do that song in our worship service in church it’s a awesome song thank you for letting us have a sample listening of this very awesome cd May God richly bless you and ministries.
Wow I have been waiting for music such as this. The music itself is great. The different variations. I did see my children jumping up and down.. It is very important that the music I use can be memorized easily, and that the children just want to move and praise Jesus with it. I definately want to be able to hear more of this.
I could see elementary kids loving these CDs. Great songs + kids voices leading= winner!
It is a mid- to upper Elementary sound which is great. This age group has moved beyond Veggie Tales and needs music in a genre that appeals to them.
Thanks for letting us know about them!
I love these songs! They sound like they would be easy for the kids to learn, and I think they would really enjoy singing them. It seems like the teens get all the good music, so it’s time for the children to have their turn!
So many of these songs are sung by our worship team. It’s great when the kids can learn – and enjoy the same songs their parents are singing. These arrangements are geared for kids to enjoy, but their adult teachers will enjoy them as well.
I like that the CD’s are a mix of familiar worship songs and some new kids (new to me) songs. It is also great that the songs are done at a good pace so kids can learn them easily.
I loved all the cd’s. They had an upbeat tempo, and I liked that they were sung by kids because I think children like that. I am trying to instill more praise and worhip into our children’s programs and these would be PERFECT!
I know you state on your site that you can only ship the Kids Worship CD’s to the States and so my comments will not gain us copies of this music, but I really wanted to add my opinion to your list. I followed the link and listened to the samples… oh my goodness… I got myself all excited as I clearly saw a vision of our youth singing their little hearts out to the Lord. Its exciting because I have recently taken the youth co-ordinator position at church for the age group 7 – 11 years… and these children come from a very down trodden, poverty-stricken, drug ridden area. We started with 17 children… in six weeks we now have an average of 40 children… with in excess of 65 names on the register… They are responding, they are learning Bible verses and the first one I shared with them was Joshua 1 verse 9 so they can know whatever surrounds them, Christ is with them. I have a vision from the Lord, He is going to use these children to reach the parents and the older siblings, He is going to reach out and show love to this area and people are going to fall on their knees before our great God…. and thats why I got excited when I heard these CD samples… we need these CD’s, we have to get the songs to the children and I am asking God right now to provide us with copies in some way or another. We have no budget, no income, everything is donated… and God will provide these CD’s for us because when I heard them, I could draw a parallel with Elizabeth when the baby lept in her womb… my stomach churned with excitement when I listened to the samples…. This music is now, its also yesterday because it speaks His Word and it is tomorrow because it preaches His promises… and our little kids will get to learn these songs… somehow!!! Thank you for guiding me to the site.
First, I would like to thank you for all the wonderful lessons, bible stories, the list goes on. I work with kids at as a small country church and always looking for ways to teach them about God. The cd’s are wonderful and has such an upbeat tempo, the kids would really love singing them. Once again thank you and may God continue to bless you.
This some great music I can see my kids in children’s church singing and praising God to these songs. These are song that we sing in our worship service with the adults but now the kids can sing , dance and shout to others kids singing these songs and relate to them. God bless you for these songs for kids worship.
These are great songs!
I think it is great how the music is designed to fit the vocal range of children. They need music just for them that is appealing to them. I am sure that they would enjoy the contemporary songs that are included. It is nice how there is a mix of some more familiar songs and some newer ones. This seems like a great collection of music – teaching, encouraging, and inspiring people to praise, believe, and follow Jesus! I enjoyed listening to the music samples!
Thankyou for drawing me back to the days of old when most of these songs were sung by me when i was in Sunday school.I love the contempory twist to the music it makes the music more appealing for the kids of today. As a mother of 3 with a 4th child on the way, and a leader of my church play group i can see how useful this set of cd’s would be in nourishing my own children’s hearts and the hearts of those that i come into contact with each week to live a life of service for Christ.
I think that this is a FABULOUS CD. My kids were singing along with the familiar songs as we listened…. I would LOVE to win this!
Our children need some praise cd’s or aleast new stuff…lol
I loved the sound of the music, the words, and the enthusiasm of each one the CD’s. Loved it even for myself to listen to.
I like the fact that you have included some popular song from today and that the songs are not too childish.
Kids Worship CD’s are the best – I use them in our Children’s Ministry plus i listen to them at home and in the car (even when I don’t have kids with me). A friend told me once about a new worship song she had heard – my response “never heard it, must not be on Kids Worship yet!!”
Awesome! Age Appropriate! Simpliicity! Annointing! May God Forever bless you!

I love the CD. I would love to have them to use in our puppet ministry. We use teenagers and some adults to help teach the children by using puppets. Church budget is not large enough to buy somethings we need so we could really use free CDs
Wow this is a great collection, I’d love to win it! Thanks for making the offer!
I love the CD’s..My Sunday school class & I would love to have them to sing along with.What a great way to encourage children to lift their voices and sing along.So many in class are shy and won’t sing aloud..This collection of songs are very motivational, energetic & easy to learn.
What a great way to encourage everyone in the classroom to join in & sing.We’d love to win these so all of the children will lift their wee voices and sing praise to Jesus together.
We sing at all of our children’s activities- Awana, Sunday school, VBS, etc. I listened and think the CDs are wonderful! We would love to have them and would no doubt wear them out using them. However, I am more interested in helping to get a set of the CDs to Suzanne Regnard (see comments), who is apparently in another country and doesn’t qualify for this drawing, and says she does not have the financial means to get them. It sounds as though she has an amazing ministry to very deprived children – how can I help?
just listened to all three of the samples – great stuff!!! I can see our kids dancin’ and worshipping to these CD’s. We’re just building up our children’s ministry department again and I (for the time being) am in charge of it… (PRAY)!
we’re embarking on a VBS adventure hoping to involve some of the neighborhood children and then incorporate them into our regular Wed night Missionette and Royal Ranger programs as well as Sunday’s Kid’z Church
thanks for letting us taka a listen – it was great!
I loved the cd’s
Great! the voices/words can be easily heard
tempos that kids can pick up on druing first listening
Great! voices/words easily heard above accompaniment
good tempo–easily picked up on 1st listening
great mix of old & new; hymns included
scripture to music
excellent for many purposes
I listened to your praise and worship for kids. I have just taken over our kids at Grace Community Church in Adel, Georgia. I really like the sound of quality of your cds.
Looking forward to getting some of your music.
It’s good bibical lyrics that adults can still worship to but has been appropriated by children. It respects the intelligence of the children as it is not too babyish. I am happy that children everywhere can have intelligent, spiritually rich songs to sing to the Lord!
Good observation. I agree when you said, “It respects the intelligence of the children.” The songs seem to be engaging for children as well as accessible to them.
What a wonderful way to teach kids to worship our Lord!
I am from a very small church just starting a childrens program. We have very little funding, but as soon as we can I am going to try to order these CDs. I can already see the children praising our Lord with everything they have. Thankyou so much for your Sunday School program it has literally been a life saver.
I really like the music and the lyrics on these cds. I teach the 6-12 year old class at my church. I enjoy it very much. Recently I had a 16 year old girl who joined my class because she autism and is at a 3rd to 4th grade level. Her mother informed that she likes to color and sing along with cds. The other children in the class get to sing every last sunday of the month and they all love to sing and worship the lord. I think these would be a great addition to my class. It would be the first cds my class would own. Thanks, bethany barr
Great music! Great teaching method and would be of great blessings to children at our local church.
I have been doing VBS graft class for 3-5 year olds for 6 years now and I would love to have this cd for the children to listen to while doing their crafts but even more so my grandson is 5 years old and he loves to sing and I loved the music on this cd. I would love to have it to listen to while we are riding in the car so we can sing the songs together. It is very insperational and uplifting. It makes you want to sing God’s praises.
Thank You
Shelly Stanfield
I truly appreciate your ministry.
I really like the mix of verse songs, contemporary praise and worship, and few hymns in there also. Great music!
I love the songs. Our small church is just now starting to grow and we have some kids attending that have parents that are unchurched. I want to teach them things that they will enjoy so that they will look forward to coming to church and I am sure that these songs will catch their interest and they will enjoy them very much. I want to teach them the Word of God through song and scripture and I want to be one of the singers myself!
Anything that is fun and courages kids to follow Jesus is awesome. Music is long been said to be able to touch even the unborn or death. Thank you for this outreach.
ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF UR SAMPLES BUT IM SURE THE KIDS WILL LOVE THEM!!!! EVEN MORE WHEN THEY HEAR IT’S CHILDREN WHO ARE SINGING.. THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 ALL YOUR HELP..GOD BLESS YOU!
The CDs are contemporary, high-energy, and worshipful. I appreciate the variety of tempos and beats. The songs are well performed and I would be happy to share them with our children and I am sure they would be encouraged and inspired.
These are the kind of upbeat songs our kids love!
