Ananias, Sapphira, Stephen, Philip, Ethopian, Onesimus and Others

Characters of the Early Church

Scripture Reference: The Book of Acts Onwards

I've put all these characters from the Early Christian Church together as, while there is quite a number of resources, there is not quite enough to warrant a separate page for each one!

Don't forget to check out MSSS Bible Craft and Activities for Any Story and MSSS Bible Character Crafts for more ideas to help create your lessons.

Keys for Kids also offers a wide variety of devotions and stories that aid in the teaching of Bible lessons. Search by topic or by Bible reference.
