About this story
In Matthew 16:18, Jesus tells Peter, 'You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.' This moment marks Peter's important role as a leader in the early church. It's a great story to share with kids while they color.
“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
While kids color, ask them how they can be leaders in their own lives. Highlight Peter’s role in the church when Jesus said, 'You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.' Gather colored pencils and plan for about 30 minutes of coloring. Follow up with a discussion about what it means to follow Jesus’ teachings.

More about these coloring pages
My 9-year-old daughter was excited to color our pope coloring page for kids last weekend. She loved working on the image where the Pope gives a blessing, and it sparked a conversation about how leaders in the church guide their communities. 'You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church' (Matthew 16:18) perfectly illustrates Peter's role as a leader. These coloring pages are simple and engaging, with six images that kids can relate to. While coloring, we talked about how the Pope helps connect people to God. I pulled out some colored pencils and markers, and the kids were so focused on their creations that they lost track of time. It’s a joy to see them learning about the faith through art, and I can't wait to hang their colorful masterpieces on the fridge!
